As fatal events because of drunk-driving accidents still frequently happened, the public never stop their requests to increase the penalties of drunk-driving. Since June 13, 2013, the drunk-driving over breath alcohol content 0.25 milligrams per liter was regarded as offense against Public Safety Chapter and will be transferred to Prosecutors’ Office for investigation. Additionally, the penalty of 3rd time within 5 years breaking Criminal Code Article 185-3 can’t be commuted to a fine. Under this kind of draconian punishment, the correctional institutions seem to be drunk-driving prisoners’ Nursing House. The sentences of over 90% of the drunk-driving prisoners are less than 6 months. In such short period of implementation, it’s unable to effectively change their drinking habits and bad perception of using alcohol by the general treatment measures in prison, resulting in coming back again to prison very quick after previous release. Based on the Alcohol Abstinence Programs (AAP) of Taipei Detention Center (TDC) started in 2013, the purpose of this study is to evaluate how is the alcohol-quitting effectiveness by experimental method between those joined AAP and those didn’t. The study samples were divided into two groups: the control group (not to participate in programs) and the experimental group (programs participation). There are 30 prisoners in each group, and the samples are sourcing from drunk-driving prisoners with sentences over 4 months in TDC. The samples are mainly from 2 workshops, therefore, they were chosen evenly and assigned to each group. Last for 2 months, the experimental group participated in AAP and the control group joined routine treatment activities. This study used the questionnaires designed by TDC itself as the measuring tool to pretest and post-test.
