Abstract
The Eastern District of Pennsylvania's Supervision to Aid Reentry (STAR) court is a 52-week program for individuals returning from federal prison and on supervised release. Prior research (Taylor, 2017) compared STAR participants and comparison group individuals over an 18-month outcome period and found no significant differences in rearrest rate, but significant differences in supervision revocation rate: STAR participants were significantly less likely to have their supervision revoked. To further investigate the effects of reentry court participation on reentry outcomes, the current study extended the original study period by 18 months and used survival analyses to determine the effect of reentry court participation on time to rearrest. Results showed that the rearrest rate was not significantly different for reentry court participants and comparison group individuals in the longer outcome period, but revocation was significantly lower for reentry court participants. No differences in time to rearrest emerged, except when reentry court participants were divided into those who had graduated and those who had not graduated. Reentry graduates were significantly less likely to be rearrested than comparison group individuals and had longer times until rearrest. Policy and practice implications are discussed, and future research directions proposed.
