In some states it means bare-bones services such as the ability to get a General Educational Development (GED) and whatever else is court mandated. In some states, it includes numerous treatment and service programs that inmates can utilize to improve Library themselves. Education is a particularly important issue, as more education has been proven to reduce the recidivism rate. Some states have recently instituted faith-based programs in an attempt to cut down on recidivism and improve overall welfare. Research has yet to prove whether these approaches are effective, but it does seem to be a popular choice for many inmates. ton In your community, the local prisons have been following a more bare-bones approach to services offered, but lately the tics community has been concerned about the crime rate. A decision has been made to offer more services in the prisons in an effort to cut back on recidivism and ensure that prisoners are better prepared for reentry. You are a lawmaker in charge of deciding what programs and services to establish at the prisons under your jurisdiction. You are on a committee that makes these decisions. Some members of the committee think the best approach would be to adopt more educational programming, including the opportunity to get a two-year degree at a local community college. Others argue that the prisons could adopt faith-based approaches in an effort to improve inmates' behavior. The local area is strongly influenced by religion, and the idea of a faith- based approach is popular with the community. Which programming do you support and why? Discuss the pros and cons of both and come to a conclusion. Use the text and other resources as a guide to this and to support your statements.
