The Euclid House: A Therapeutic Community Halfway House for Prisoners

Publication: American Journal of Psychiatry

Abstract

Euclid House represents an attempt to create an effective therapeutic community for prisoners in a halfway house staffed almost totally by blacks and by some ex-offenders. This experiment is viewed as a long-term investment in training staff, developing ideas and concepts, and taking chances in order to tap the creativeness of the staff and residents. The ultimate hope is that this model will serve for some prisoners as an alternative to incarceration.
