ANNOTATION: The Day Custody Program (DCP) New York City Center for Alternative Sentencing and Employment Services (CASES) is evaluated. This brief covers: program description; case and defendant characteristics in DCP-sentenced cases; completion rates; penalties for program failure; rejected cases; recidivism; matched comparisons -- prevalence, time till, and frequency of re-arrests; summary; and policy implications. The high compliance rate, the high likelihood of return to court for program failure, and appropriate penalties imposed upon unsuccessful defendants if returned to court, demonstrates that the program successfully holds program-sentenced defendants accountable for their conviction for misdemeanor crimes" (p. 7).
