United States Department of Education Update, December 2004
Linton, John
Journal of Correctional Education, v55 n4 p274-276 Dec 2004
In this update, Linton reports on Congressional filing of a number of bills that involve the topic of prisoner reentry. In addition, he presents a key section of Attorney General John Ashcroft's address (Cleveland, Ohio, September 2004) on prisoner reentry. In this speech, Ashcroft called for a concerted effort to managing a balanced approach: returning offenders should be subject to criminal justice supervision, but should also be able to access preparatory programming and support services.
