Report To The Congress

Correctional Institutions

Can Do More To Improve

The Employability Of Offenders



The opportunities for offenders to improve
their legitimate employment prospects while
in Federal and State correctional institutions
are limited. Among other things:

    --Classification, assignment, counseling,
    and guidance services neither identify
    offenders' needs and interests nor en-
    courage participation in appropriate
    programs.

    --Academic education, occupational train-
    ing, and work assignments do not pre-
    pare offenders for employment.


    -Transitional programs do not receive
    enough attention.

GAO recognizes that prison administrators
face constraints in trying to improve offender
employability, but believes that better man-
agement and organization of existing pro-
grams would improve the situation. Recom-
mendations are made to the Departments of
Justice; Health, Education, and Welfare; and
Labor.
