Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of two different programs designed to help people reenter society after being in prison.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals deemed medium or high risk according to the Iowa Risk Revised and considered suitable for cognitive programming. It's not open to those who are court-mandated to either of the programs being tested.
What is being tested?
The study aims to test the effectiveness of two reentry programs: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for prisons (ACT-P) versus Thinking for a Change (T4C), in helping individuals transition back into community life after incarceration.
What are the potential side effects?
Since ACT-P and T4C are psychological/behavioral interventions, they may cause emotional discomfort or distress as participants confront personal issues, but no physical side effects like with medication.
