Employment
Stable employment is a key factor in preventing recidivism. We are evaluating programs that seek to improve employment outcomes, including those that provide people in correctional facilities with jail-based employment supports, job training, and connections to public workforce systems. We are also examining programs that offer former offenders assistance with employment, mentoring, and housing.
