Examining a wealth of studies by researchers and correctional professionals, and the experience of educators, this book shows recidivism rates drop in direct correlation with the amount of education prisoners receive, and the rate drops dramatically with each additional level of education attained.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Presenting a workable solution to America's mass incarceration and recidivism problems, this book demonstrates that great fiscal benefits arise when modest sums are spent educating prisoners. Educating prisoners brings a reduction in crime and social disruption, reduced domestic spending and a rise in quality of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristopher Zoukis\u003c\/b\u003e is the founder of www.prisoneducation.com, and a contributing writer to \u003ci\u003eThe Huffington Post\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePrison Legal News.\u003c\/i\u003e Zoukis advocates for the public and lawmakers to expand educational offerings for prisoners.
