New roles for psychologists in working with these types of support systems are identified. The gruesome portrayal of halfway houses in the media can often be the catalyst for formal audits of these facilities. But it should be noted that regular monitoring, auditing, and data reporting should be the norm in the first place.

As we noted earlier, the Bureau of Justice Statistics does periodically publish some basic data about halfway houses, but only in one collection , which isn’t used for any of the agency’s regular reports about correctional facilities or populations. The BJS unhelpfully lumps reentry-focused halfway houses together with minimum security prisons and other kinds of community-based facilities in a broad category it calls “community-based correctional facilities,” making the data difficult to interpret. We can tell from the most recent data that, in 2012, there were 527 community-based facilities, but it remains unclear which facilities are which . It follows that the BJS does not publish disaggregated demographic data about the populations in these different types of facilities, making the sort of analysis we do about prisons and jails impossible. By contrast, the BJS releases detailed, publicly accessible data about prisons and jails, including population counts, demographic data, the time people spend behind bars, what services are offered in facilities, and more. Unfortunately, much less information exists about how many state-run or state-contracted halfway houses and halfway house residents there are.

Many residents will need sober housing that is within walking distance of grocery stores, employment opportunities, public transportation, and community support groups.
