TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

SUBJECT: THE NARCONON DRUG REHABILITATION PROGRAMME

The effects and benefits derived from the Narconon Drug Rehabilitation Programme have been most noticeable in bringing about changes from very negative to more positive attitudes. Some of the inmates who have participated in the programme are now themselves supervisor/instructors, having received training both in the Correctional Centre and in the community after release. There have been no known cases of visiting Narconon members abusing their privileges. As the programme has only been in effect for the past twenty-four months, it is too early for meaningful statistical data on success rates to be compiled, however, we endorse the programme in its present form without reservation.

H. B. Bjarnason,
Director.
