“…A shortened version of the CJDATS Intake Interview (CJ-DATS.org; Fletcher, Lehman, Wexler, & Melnick, 2007) was administered in the first assessment. This structured interview collects socio-demographic background information including education and employment, criminal behavior history, health and psychological status, and drug use and treatment history.…”

This study examined the association of Axis I and Axis II disorders among offenders who were in prison-based substance abuse treatment in a national multi-site study. Participants (N = 280) received a psychosocial assessment and a structured diagnostic interview in two separate sessions. Logistic regression models examined the association between lifetime mood and anxiety disorders with two personality disorders, and the relationship of Axis I and Axis II disorders (alone and in combination) to pre-treatment psychosocial functioning. Over two-thirds of the sample met criteria for at least one mental disorder. Borderline personality disorder was strongly associated with having a lifetime mood disorder (odds ratio = 7.5) or lifetime anxiety disorder (odds ratio = 8.7). Individuals with only an Axis II disorder, or who had both Axis I and Axis II disorders, had more severe problems in psychosocial functioning than those without any disorder. Clinical treatment approaches need to address this heterogeneity in diagnostic profiles, symptom severity, and psychosocial functioning.

“…Data were collected from 717 participants as part of the Transitional Case Management study (TCM) under the auspices of the NIDA funded Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJ-DATS) cooperative (see Fletcher and Wexler, 2005 for additional details on CJ-DATS studies). CJ-DATS is comprised of 10 Research Centers across the U.S. which are designing, implementing, and testing multi-site studies to improve outcomes for criminal offenders with substance use disorders.…”

This study is the first to examine ketamine use and its association with HIV sexual risk behaviors among a criminal offending population in the United States. Data were collected from 716 inmates as part of the Transitional Case Management (TCM) protocol within the Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJ-DATS) cooperative agreement. Bivariate analyses were used to identify differences between ketamine users (n=44) and non-ketamine users (n=672). Three Poisson regression models were used to identify the significant correlates of high risk sexual behaviors in the 30 days prior to incarceration--(1) number of times had unprotected sex while high, (2) number of times had unprotected vaginal sex, and (3) number of times had unprotected anal sex. Results indicate that ketamine was a significant correlate in all of the Poisson regression models. Findings add to the literature and indicate that ketamine use may be a marker for engaging in HIV risk behaviors among criminal offenders.

“…The survey is one study conducted as part of the National Institute on Drug Abuse's (NIDA) Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJ-DATS), a national research cooperative (the survey is fully described in Taxman, Young, Cropsey, et al, 2006, andTaxman, Young, Wiersema, et al, 2006). Established in 2002 with support from several federal partners, CJ-DATS researchers from 10 academic research centers and NIDA are working together with federal, state, and local criminal justice partners to develop and test integrated approaches to the treatment of offenders with drug-use disorders (see Fletcher & Wexler, 2005, for a detailed CJ-DATS description). Information from the NCJTPS provides multilevel estimates of the prevalence of assessment and treatment programming for offenders in a myriad of correctional settings and characteristics of these programs.…”

Findings from the National Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJ-DATS) National Criminal Justice Treatment Practices survey are examined to describe types of services provided by three types of prisons: those that serve a cross-section of offenders, those that specialize in serving offenders with special psychosocial and medical needs, and those that specialize in serving legal status or gender specific populations. Information is presented on the prevalence and type of specialized prisons and services provided to offenders as reported by wardens and other facility directors drawn from a nationally representative sample of prisons. Additional analyses explore organizational factors that differentiate prisons that serve specialized populations including staffing, training, other resources, leadership, and climate for change and innovation. Implications for expanding and improving services for special populations in correctional settings and the values of specialized prisons are discussed.
