Abstract	This final report of a research project to design and develop a master plan for vocational education in Missouri's correctional institutions is divided into five sections. Section 1 contains a rationale for the project and a summary of the literature regarding the role of vocational education in American penal institutions. A number of problem areas are identified. Section 2 provides a look at the Missouri prison system--its organization, the nature of its inmate population, and an overview of its vocational education program. The section also details the operations of the project. Section 3 discusses in depth the needs for vocational education in the correctional systems. A combination of interviews with prison officials, surveys conducted among prisoners, and citations in the literature are used to outline considerations which must be given to the needs of inmates, the institutions, and society in designing a vocational education system. Section 4 examines the current functioning of the Missouri prison system with regard to vocational education. In section 5 a series of fifty-one recommendations are made covering all aspects of vocational education in Missouri's correctional institutions, most of which could be adapted for use in other states' correctional systems.
