By Joan Petersilia Organizational Readiness in Corrections 5 Many correctional agencies are pursuing evidence-based practices in reentry; however, implementation of these practices frequently meets with resistance and challenge. This article examines the impact of a continuous on-site training model to advance successful implementation of evidence-based practices in correctional settings.

By ArthurJ. Lurigio Exploring the Moderating Effects of Mental Illness on Parole Release Decisions The author explores potential differential treatment of inmates with mental illness in parole release decisions by testing whether the presence of a mental illness moderates the relationships among criminal risk factors and release decisions. Results suggest that parole board members are exercising considerable discretion in their release decisions above and beyond consideration of criminal risk factors. By Jason Matejkowski Prosecution by Military Commission versus Federal Criminal Court: A Comparative Analysis 27 The author presents an overview of how the United States utilizes military commissions to prosecute suspected war criminals such as Omar Khadr, and how this process differs from criminal prosecution in U.S. District Court, drawing from the Military Commis- sions Act of 2009, the Manual for Military Commissions, and an interview with a member of the Office of Military Commissions at Guantanamo Bay.
