Abstract
A study designed to statistically assess the impact of an in-jail substance abuse treatment program on recidivism to the Hillsborough County Jail system illustrates the kinds of data analysis tasks that a personal computer can perform and demonstrates that virtually any jail-based program that collects quantifiable information may benefit by employing this technology as part of its program evaluation strategy.
