Porporino, Frank J.; Robinson, David
Journal of Correctional Education, v43 n2 p92-98 Jun 1992
Followup of 1,736 adult basic education (ABE) participants released from prison showed that (1) ABE completers had the lowest recidivism rates; (2) offenders at greater risk of recidivism benefited most from completion; and (3) ABE participation helped in postrelease job search and gave a sense of control.
