DLS Study (January 2013). This study found that a pilot reentry program in Maryland cannot self-finance its operations, even when applying optimistic assumptions. The authors of the report found that “Given the difficulty of linking the evaluation of a social program to a highly complex contract centered on an outcome payment, the government may actually increase its operational risks in undertaking a SIB.” The report recommended that DPSCS should directly finance and operate reentry programs.
