The program design includes, among other components, very selective screening of applicants and multiple contacts with each offender every week. Results of a survey of judges, prosecutors, and public defenders on ISP are outlined.

However, preliminary indications of program accomplishments, including employment and rates of recidivism, are very promising. (Author abstract)
