Abstract: 

This paper describes the most recent addition to the New Jersey Parole Board’s continuum of alternatives to incarceration for technical parole violators (TPVs). In 2008, the New Jersey Parole Board, in collaboration with Community Education Centers, a private correctional treatment company that partners with public agencies, opened two secure residential facilities called Residential Assessment Centers (RACs). The RACs’ purpose has been to evaluate high-risk TPVs who would previously have been returned to incarceration.
