Description

Michelle Tolbert. Ensuring that prisoners are prepared to return to society is an increasingly important issue considering the growing number of inmates that will be released from prison in the coming years. But 2/3 of Fed. & state inmates released on parole are re-arrested within 3 years of leaving prison & almost 1/2 are re-incarcerated. Participation in state correctional (CR) educ. programs lowered the likelihood of re-incarceration by 29%. This report summarizes the CR philosophy, & laws affecting state CR educ. programs, & describes the adult prison population today. Reviews the components of CR educ., discusses the benefits of educ. to inmates, & highlights CR educ. initiatives in MD, OH, & TX.
