The authors note that criminal offenders have difficulty in vocational adjustment and that this is exacerbated by their criminal status. Despite this, the criteria for rehabilitation services are limited to mentally or physically handicapped prisoners. The project is designed to provide and evaluate such services for larger segments of federal prison inmates. The research program will attempt to contribute to the field of rehabilitation through the empirical evaluation of current as contrasted with intensive services offered to Federal offenders and through ascertaining the effects of such variables as time of service. The project is also intended to study the impact of providing these services to offenders upon the attitudes and practices of the professional staff involved in the corrections process and to develop recommendations for changes in related legislation. The paper details the various aspects of the project, such as choice of institutions, exact dimensions to be studied, controls, design, and methods of evaluation. This report is dated 1964 but should be considered by those currently involved in prison reform efforts. Author's abstract modified.
