Abstract:
This research aims to examine the effectiveness of prison education and vocational training programs in reducing recidivism rates among incarcerated individuals. The study will explore the impact of educational and vocational opportunities on the post-release outcomes of offenders, focusing on their ability to reintegrate into society and avoid reoffending. By analyzing existing literature, conducting interviews with program participants, and evaluating recidivism data, this research seeks to provide valuable insights into the potential benefits and limitations of prison education and vocational training programs in reducing recidivism.
