TL;DR: The concept of a voucher system for the purchase of services has its greatest potential in community correction, where offenders are, so to speak, in partnership with correctional agents as mentioned in this paper. But the concept is unrealistic.
Abstract: purer stuff is unrealistic. The concept of a voucher system for the purchase of services has its greatest potential in community correction, where offenders are, so to speak, in partnership with correctional agents. My objection to the Greenberg article is its subtle concept that offenders can do a better job alone in the gearing of services to needs and that correctional agents would be dysfunctional in this task. Progress in correction will come via a cooperative arrangement between offenders and correctional agents. A naive article like Greenberg’s is dangerous; it separates the two parties that have a vested interest in correction.
