Earlier this month, the Wisconsin Adult Criminal Justice Program Inventory was released, the first product of our efforts on the Results First Initiative in collaboration with the Pew Charitable Trusts and MacArthur Foundation.

The purpose of the program inventory is to categorize the adult criminal justice programming that is provided in Wisconsin prisons and jails, under community supervision, and through the courts into defined categories of evidence-based practices. 

The attached report represents a critical initial step in implementing the Results First Initiative, creating an inventory of programs in Wisconsin that are known to be evidence-based according to the research literature.
