Education
Did you know that without an education, inmates who are released are more likely to commit crimes and return to prison? The U.S. Department of Justice reports that nearly 80% of inmates return within five years.
However, educational degrees lower recidivism at an enormous rates:
- Associate degree holders return at a rate of 13.7%.
- Bachelor’s degree holders return at a rate of 5.6%.
- Master’s degree holders return at a rate of nearly 0%.
