A 21 page paper
presenting a study of whether work release programs are effective in preventing subsequent
incarceration for new crimes. Work release programs have been in use for nearly a century, but
they are seen as being too difficult to administer and some claim they take jobs from the areas
surrounding the prisons using work release. As the primary difficulty that a newly-released
former inmate faces is that of finding a job, however, the benefits of real job experience and the
existence of an inmate savings account are attractive. Difficulty in finding employment is cited as
a primary contributor to recidivism, and it would seem that work release programs should reduce
that pressure. Only a few states track recidivism rates at all, and most studies report mixed results
as does this one. The study concludes that even though work release does not eliminate
recidivism and the cost of maintaining an inmate is comparable to that of maintaining him in
prison, the program is beneficial if only for other experiences gained through it. Bibliography lists
14 sources.
