Prison education programs as factors in inmate recidivism rates (original) (raw)
The purposes of this study were to determine the effects of participation and completion of the CCSD prison education program by incarcerated male students on subsequent rates of recidivism; and to determine if there were any significant differences at the .05 level between 18 different dependent variables in inmate behavior. It was hypothesized that students who were program persisters/completers would have higher success rates once having achieved parole/expiration, and would have lower rates of recidivism. Students who were noncompleters/nonpersisters would have higher recidivism rates upon achieving parole/expiration. The variables w e r e :. 1. Current age 2. Ethnicity 3. Age at first admission 4. Prior number of arrests (Police Contacts) 5. N e v a d a 'Department of Prisons admission status 6. Court ordered adjudicated sentence length 7. Juvenile delinquency contact record 8. Number of prior probation failures Rules and Order 9. Number of prior probation failures Rearrest 10. Number of prior parole failures Rules and Order 11. Number of prior parole failures Rearrest 12.
