The recommendations deal with external and internal evaluations of academic and vocational programs, implementation of training in life management skills, a 5-year comprehensive plan for correctional education, establishment of a vocational technical center, Federal support, incentive plans for inmates in educational programs, and allocation of funds for research and development projects. The Anderson study ascertained how many of 760 releases obtained employment in areas of vocational training that they had received in adult correctional institutions in Illinois. It compares releasees with vocational training with those who did not receive vocational training and with releasees who received only academic training. It also surveys recent employment statistics in Illinois and analyzes intrastate differences between the eight parole districts regarding inmate employment placement and training. A plan for more integrated institutional and community ex-offender employment services is proposed, research results are reviewed, and an evaluation system is developed.
