| Abstract | A study examined the characteristics of a sample of 1,722 inmates (166 females and 1,556 males) received by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction in September and October 1985. The sample (approximately 18.9% of all inmates received by the department in 1985) was characterized with respect to the following: race, age, educational level, estimated time to serve, and tested educational level. At the time of their arrest, approximately 32.5% of the inmates were unemployed and over 88% were under 40 (nearly half the females and 62.6% of the males were under age 29). Over 80% of the females and 66.8% of the males had estimated release times of 2 years or less. Over 42% of the females and 60% of the males had not completed high school. Among the study recommendations were the following: emphasis on academic and vocational programs to prepare inmates for the correctional institution-to-community transition; continuation of mandatory adult basic education programs for inmates testing below the 6th grade level; and continuation (and possibly expansion to include computer-assisted instruction) of high school equivalency programs. (Correctional education enrollment data and program grant information are appended.) (MN) |
