Impact Assessment of the Pre-Release Employment Program, Graduates of the Herman Toulson Boot Camp versus Nonparticipants, Graduates of the Herman Toulson Boot Camp.

摘要

The employment rates of the Pre Release Employment Program were investigated. Thirty participants (exoffenders) on probation and parole of the Pre Release Employment Program were selected to be the experimental group. They were demographically matched to nonparticipants (exoffenders) on probation and parole that represented the control group; these individuals were not participants of the Pre Release Employment Program. Although the assertion was that the participants of the Pre Release Employment Program would have a higher rate than those that did not participate, it was found that there was no significant difference between the participants of the program and nonparticipants of the program.
