Prison education effectiveness
Crime prevention efforts aren’t limited to policing and incarceration. Education has long been advocated as a way to help inmates succeed in the outside world after their release and thus reduce reincarceration.
Correctional education does not come without a price, of course. Classrooms, materials and teachers all cost money, and the programs’ success and failings must be monitored. As the U.S. prison population rose in the 1990s, policymakers reduced and even eliminated many state and federal education programs. In response, studies were conducted to look at the effect education has on crime rates, but tended to focus on short-term effects of education rather than recidivism and joblessness.
