Paroled offenders and ex-offenders' retention and completion for 3 small-sized prisoner- release intervention programs in Columbus, Ohio, continue to decline. Prisoner-release intervention programs aid paroled offenders and ex-offenders with societal reentry. Influenced by the conceptual framework of the social control theory, this exploratory multiple case study was designed to contribute to the common understanding of the paroled offenders and ex-offenders' retention and completion in the small-sized prisoner release intervention programs. The 18 participants included stakeholders from the criminal justice system, prisoner-release intervention programs, community advocacy organizations, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Analysis of data collected from interviews and telephone calls resulted in the emergence of codes, themes, and categories. The findings from this study could be used by the programs to establish a proactive presence in the prison systems before inmate release for early intervention. Further, the small-sized prisoner-release intervention programs could use the findings to develop new initiatives, and scholars could use the findings to better understand the social conditions affecting small-sized prisoner-release intervention programs.
