Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Evaluations of prison-based cognitive-behavioural programmes have tended to rely on the reconviction rate as the principal outcome measure when assessing programme effectiveness. The present study adopted a qualitative methodology, as the primary focus was to examine programme processes and how these were experienced by programme participants. By ascertaining what factors were associated with successful and unsuccessful programme delivery and impact, and identifying the existence of short-term non-reconviction benefits associated with programme completion, the study helps to inform our understanding of ‘What Works’ in practice. Interviews were conducted with 62 adult male prisoners (‘programme graduates’) who had recently completed a Reasoning and Rehabilitation programme or an Enhanced Thinking Skills course. Ten programme graduates who had been reconvicted since being released from prison (‘reconvicted graduates’) were also interviewed, as were five ex-prisoners who had not been reconvicted (‘desisting graduates’). A sample of 33 members of prison staff responsible for the organisation and delivery of cognitive skills training programmes were interviewed, along with eight non-programme staff. The study identifies illustrates how the institutional and resettlement contexts can encourage or inhibit individual change. By and large, the nature and type of motivation to change was observed as a key to understanding successful programme participation. Programmes were seen to produce short-term, non-reconviction benefits for both prisoners and prison management. The findings from this qualitative study add to our knowledge of ‘what works’ and thus provide a broader context within which programme effectiveness can be viewed.
