Nevertheless, reconviction rates have always been, and remain, the preferred measure of effectiveness by which correctional interventions are judged. The first reconviction studies of adult Grendon graduates were published in the 1970s and were wholly discouraging. Newton (1971, 1973, discussed in Cullen 1997) successively compared the reconviction rates, after one to five years, of men who left Grendon between 1964 and 1966, with men with a seemingly similar offending profile who had received psychiatric treatment at HMP Wormwood Scrubs, or no treatment at HMP Oxford, and found no meaningful difference in their rate of reconviction.
