Paper Summary:
The question that haunts lawmakers and people alike is the question: "Does prison actually rehabilitate criminals?" Recidivism rates in California are the highest in the nation, up to nearly 50% with some reports stating as high as 91%. This paper examines why this is happening and why criminals in California continue to commit crimes after their release.From the Paper:
"The answer may rest with the budgets cuts California has experienced recently. California has had to cut its vocational and education plans in its prisons to control cost. This in turn, has caused California to have to spend more money on prisons, court costs, and police costs. In addition, California has had to deal with the outcry from its citizens; why are these criminals let go without any training? The answer for citizens is to lock them up and throw away the key."More papers on Recidivism in California:
