Honest Opportunity Probation with Enforcement (HOPE)
This is a community supervision strategy that applies fair and swift punishments for probation violations. The goal is to reduce recidivism among high- to medium-risk individuals and reduce the costs of incarceration.
The intervention includes intensive monitoring, random drug testing, and application of punishments for violations, such as return to prison. Initially, drug testing occurs twice a week or 4 to 6 times a month, but as tests show negative results for drug abuse, the frequency is reduced.
