Paragraph 4 of 4
Educating prisoners equips them with
job, life and parenting skills necessary to become productive, law-abiding,
and responsible members of society. Studies have shown that individuals
who receive a higher education while incarcerated have a significantly
better rate of employment (75%) than those who do not participate
in education programs (40%). This post-release employment reduces
re-arrest rates since these ex-offenders don't have to turn to crime
as a means of financial support. Another benefit of prison education
programs is the positive and long-lasting impact educating adult prisoners
can have on the lives of their children. It is well known that the
educational level of a parent is a clear predictor of both the educational
achievements of the child and the level of parental involvement in
the child's education. As the majority of prisoners are parents, educating
them is sure to have a positive effect on their children. _______
