An Evaluation of Convergent Case Management

Convergent Case Management (CCM) is a mandatory reentry program offered in Arizona state-run prison units. This study evaluates the success of this program through semi-structured interviews with correctional officers and incarcerated men and women at two Arizona prison units. These results are contextualized within the history of rehabilitative program evaluation from the "nothing works" paradigm of the 1970s through contemporary Good Lives Model and desistance thinking.
