Beyond Recidivism: Positive Outcomes from Higher Education Programs in Prisons
Overview & Synopsis
Research on higher education programs in prison focuses on quantitative analysis of reduction in recidivism rates. The current research lacks knowledge on positive outcomes beyond recidivism. This qualitative study examines in-depth interviews with individuals who participated in higher education programs while in prison and identifies positive outcomes beyond recidivism. Participants in the study highlight the development of personal skills and attributes, prosocial networks, and prosocial bonds to social institutions as positive outcomes attributed to participation in higher education programs while in prison.
