Paper Summary:

This paper describes the social and monetary cost of incarceration in the United States, which boasts the highest percentage of jailed individuals. One major concern, the author stresses, is the quality of rehabilitation the inmates receive while they are in prison. The paper concludes that to keep an inmate from re-offending and have a successful transition back into regular society, he or she must be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed.

Conclusion

From the Paper:

"Society's current focus is on revenge and incarceration in prisons. The cost of the explosion in the criminal population, due to tougher sentencing laws, forces a look at prisons beyond mere incarceration. To keep an inmate from re-offending and have a successful transition back into regular society, he or she must be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed. Programs such as vocational training and rehabilitation need to be revamped to provide meaningful skills."
