Logical Approach Worksheet

Page 9: The Pros’ of Employing Cons’ The goal of this program is to reduce unemployment rates for ex-convicts by providing vocational training within prisons.

Logical Approach Lit Review The Department of Labor stated:

– The unemployment rate among ex-offenders is between 25 and 40%.– Without assistance in transitioning back into the community, the

majority of offenders return to criminal activity.– Joblessness among ex-prisoners has been broadly linked to recidivism

rates.In “Ex-offenders and the Labor Market”, the author states– A prison record greatly lowers ex-offenders prospects in the labor

market.In “ The High Budgetary Cost of Incarceration”, the author states– The U.S incarceration rate – 753 per 100,000 – is higher than any other

country, and hurts the U.S econmically.
