CPR Program Outcomes (2011)
The Community Partners Reinvestment (CPR) Program helps young men get back on track after incarceration. The result is safer communities, productive citizens and significant money saved in re-arrest, jail, prison and supervision costs.

CPR Saves Money
Only 32.1% of CPR participants who were 3 years post-release recidivated (PSU, 2010), compared to 50.3% of all 18-24 year old high risk offenders released to Multnomah County (DOC, 2009).
This resulted in an estimated cost savings of more than $1.35 million for this cohort of 58 young men based on a median $6,100 cost for CPR per participant – and CPR has achieved similar outcomes with over 370 individuals since 2005.
Compare this to the average cost of re-incarceration - more than $200,000 per individual when including societal costs such as re-arrest, booking, prosecution, courts, lawyers, victims, child services, and local jails, according to Max Williams, Director of Oregon DOC.
Independent Evaluations Report CPR's Effectiveness
On the Oregon Department of Correction's Correctional Program Checklist, CPR achieved a score only the top 6% of programs receive nationally. (Nov. 2010)
Portland State University conducted
an independent 5-year evaluation of CPR from 2005 to 2010 and results include:
The majority, 75.2%, of CPR’s high risk offenders were NOT reconvicted of a felony through June 2010
61.8% of CPR participants were either employed or attending school at 6 months post-baseline.
Severity of addiction, mental health symptoms and risk to reoffend all showed a statistically significant reduction at 6 month follow-up (ASI, BASIS 32 and LS/CMI)
