Summary

This study tests whether a group therapy for PTSD, adapted for prisons, can help people reduce drug use, mental health issues, and crime after they leave prison. About 640 incarcerated adults across 10 US prisons will either receive the group therapy or a self-help workbook. Researchers will also measure costs and how well the therapy can be put into practice.
