Confronting Worst Case Scenarios: Education and High Risk Offenders.
Overview & Synopsis
Predicted vs. actual recidivism of 119 high-risk offenders aged 20-29 who had completed postsecondary prison education was compared. Despite a low predicted success rate, they achieved higher grade point averages, acquired more postrelease education, and had less recidivism. Success factors included a culture of academic achievement and student participation in program governance and extracurricular activities. (SK)
