Summary: Substantial barriers to legal employment exist for former prison offenders after their release. Finding a job with a livable wage and keeping the job are more difficult due to their previous criminal histories and lower education levels compared to the general population; however, 40.1 percent of offenders participating in the Correctional Industries (CI) were employed one year after release in 2007 and recidivated at a rate of 34.5 percent. In contrast, offenders with similar demographic characteristics who were not in CI were employed at 29.1 percent one year after release and had a 45 percent recidivism rate. Holding a job is an important signal that an individual is moving toward a crime-free life. Not only are these individuals working and crime-free, they are also taxpayers and consumers who help the local economies grow.
