A study funded by the U.S. Department of Justice released Thursday studied data from thousands of in-prison programs nationwide and found that those inmates who participate in educational or vocational training are 43 percent less likely to return to prison once released. The study, completed by the RAND Corporation, also found the upfront investment in such programs (about $1,400-$1,800 per inmate) is minimal compared to the cost of incarcerating a person multiple times. scpr.org/news/2013/08/23/38846/study-educational-programs-in-prison-work/
