Download Prison Vocational Education and Policy in the United States Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This book explores California’s prison system in the context of vocational education reform. For prisons in the early twenty-first century, ideologies of evidence-based management meant that reform efforts to change the purpose of prisons from punishment to rehabilitation through vocational education required “evidence” to justify policy prescriptions. Yet who determines what constitutes evidence? In political environments, solutions are typically pre-conceived, which means that the nature of the evidence collected is also preconceived. As a result, key assumptions about outcomes are often wished away to show improvement and be accountable. Through a detailed analysis interspersed with stories from the authors’ experiences “behind the wall” among California’s prison population, the authors challenge the nature of evidence-based research as used in the prison environment. In the process they describe the thorny problems facing reformers.

"This research paper analyzes correctional education in the United States, particularly the role of vocational instruction in the overall delivery of educational services to the prison population. The first part of this paper profiles the adult prison population in federal and state correctional facilities and analyzes basic demographic and educational characteristics of adult inmates. The second part discusses the structure of the various correctional education delivery systems and the nature and extent of educational services in state and federal facilities. The third part of the paper reviews the most important federal legislation and programs affecting correctional education and their impact on instruction for state-incarcerated inmates. A variety of sources were used in the preparation of this report, including published reports and articles, books, and unpublished papers—several of which were retrieved from the Educational Resources Incorporated (ERIC) microfiche files at the Department of Education's main library. Staff at the Department of Education, the Bureau of Prisons, and the Correctional Education Association were consulted for information on survey data." --Preface

After conducting a comprehensive literature search, the authors undertook a meta-analysis to examine the association between correctional education and reductions in recidivism, improvements in employment after release from prison, and other outcomes. The study finds that receiving correctional education while incarcerated reduces inmates' risk of recidivating and may improve their odds of obtaining employment after release from prison.
