This report on education and training in Oregon corrections institutions begins with a brief discussion of trends in correctional education and funding patterns. It then examines three general models of corrections education service delivery: educational programming under institutional superintendents, statewide programming facilitated by a state director or coordinator of corrections education, and a statewide correctional education district structure. Strengths and weaknesses of each approach are cited. The report then addresses the pros and cons of contracting for education and training services with local education/training institutions. Some data are provided on relative costs. A number of basic principles that might be considered for program improvement are suggested. Five recommendations for short- and long-term action are made: identification of a purpose statement for education and training, funding of a position with responsibility for planning and monitoring consistent services across institutions, establishment of an interinstitutional curriculum committee, discussions on contracting education and training services to local community colleges, and drafting of legislation and implementation of policies/procedures for an Oregon corrections education district. Appendixes, amounting to approximately one-half of the report, include corrections education commission recommendations, a 1981 report on Oregon corrections, strategies for correctional vocational education, and characteristics of exemplary programs.
