Proposal to Reduce Recidivism

In 2010 ECI updated its 2003 Position Paper to Reduce Recidivism Rates in Texas. This position paper is part of an ongoing study by ECI and states its official position on education in the prison system and shows the compelling benefits of prison education. ECI continues to study the role of education in the reduction of recidivism rates in Texas and has increased its advocacy through the creation of a pilot academic program, which while accepted by the Windham School District, was rejected by the university. The 2010 update includes current data and statistics, the addition of a distance learning proposal and information gained by conducting interviews with the Windham School District and Rotary Club. The report shows a direct and significant correlation between education and reduced recidivism.
