  1. Education Criteria Between 20 and 30 % of the people in the criminal justice system have a learning disability or borderline learning disabilities. 65 % of the prison population have a reading age at or below that of an average 11 year old. 36 %of young offenders have IQs less than 80. Lorizzo, J. (2012). Helping offenders find a way out of recidivism. Learning Disability Practice.15 (5), 22-25

  2. Program Compliance

  3. Vocational “Currently vocational training is thought to provide former inmates with marketable skill, fewer disciplinary problems, lower recidivism, fewer parole violations, greater post detention employment and reduced correctional costs through public–private partnerships. These findings align with studies that link employment and job satisfaction with positive mental health, physical health and reduction in crime.” Ameen, E.L., & Lee, D.L. (2012). Vocational training in juvenile detention: A call for action. Career Development Quarterly, 60(2), 98-108.

  5. “Job income was associated with a lowerlikelihood of re-arrest, such that with $100 increase in weekly salary (up to $500) was associated with a 24% reduction in thelikelihood of re-arrest.” Freudenberg, N., Daniels, J., Crum, M., Perkins, T. and Richie, B. E. (2008, Sept.). American Journal of Public Health. (supplement), 98.

  6. Juveniles More than 80,000 of American Youth are serving time behind bars. “With recidivism rates ranging between 50% and 80% they are behind bars again and again …” Ameen, E.J.,Lee, D. L. (2012, June 1). Vocational training in juvenile detention: A call for action. According to Wald and Martinez (2003) “No other government agency could be so unsuccessful without a major outcry.” The result of not supporting detained youth in developing career skills is a population of youth who remain disconnected. Lorizzo, J. (2012). Helping offenders find a way out of recidivism. Learning Disability Practice.15 (5), 22-25.

  7. Retribution “By Supporting these employment training programs, we are fulfilling a core promise to our justice system: those who do wrong and serve their time deserve a second chance to make a positive contribution to their families and communities.” –Secretary of Labor, Hilda L. Solis
