Scenario 1:
A woman was released from prison after completing a 24-month outpatient sex offender treatment program. She was required to participate in this treatment after she was convicted of sexually abusing a child. Three weeks after she was released from prison, she returned to the prison setting for violating conditions of her parole after she was found guilty of shoplifting. Because of this new conviction, her parole was deemed a failure, and in eight months she would again appear before the parole board.
Scenario 2:
A man was on probation for the conviction of theft by deception (writing bad checks). As a component of his probation, he was required to check in with his probation officer and comply with mandated substance abuse treatment for a possible drinking problem. During the sixth week of treatment, he was arrested for and later convicted of flagrant nonsupport (failure to pay child support).
Scenario 3:
A male juvenile completed a 16-week outpatient sex offender treatment program after he was convicted of sexual assault. Shortly after he completed the program, he was arrested for and convicted of rape under adult sentencing guidelines.
