Cost And Punishment: Reassessing Incarceration Costs And The Value Of College-In-Prison Programs, Gregory A. Knott
Gregory A Knott
This article is the first study examining college-in-prison programs as part of the cost-reducing and risk-management trends currently dominant in criminal justice systems. The article concedes that college programs will not be of benefit to every inmate and may confer benefits on politically unpopular constituencies, but argues that such educational offerings are nevertheless a powerful tool for reducing recidivism and incarceration costs.
