Aggressive treatment of residents and the insistence on unquestioning obedience to authority does little to foster prosocial behavior. Additionally, one-third of all boot camps have been closed. Recidivism studies of boot camps have not been promising. Rearrest rates of boot camp graduates are similar to those of prison inmates.
