Abstract
The author proposes that a legal testimonial privilege regarding confidential communications between the staff and residents of community-based correctional programs is necessary to insure the integrity of the therapeutic process and, ultimately, the success of the program itself. This note will examine the role of community-based correctional programs and the law in regard to testimonial privileges and will demonstrate that the extension of the privilege in this setting is legally appropriate.
