A study compared the recidivism rate of two groups of Native Canadian inmates. The experimental group of offenders (n=31) received intensive pre-release support, including counseling, training in creative problem solving, career awareness sessions, and on-the-job experiences. Individuals in the experimental groups were much less likely to re-offend. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
