Two objectives structured the present study's interviews and observations undertaken in correctional facilities across eight prison administrations: to elucidate nonuniformed staff's perspectives on how well administrative approaches and modes of delivery for education and psychosocial programming reflect evidence-based practices and indicators of success and to collect and analyze qualitative interviews and observations from in-person visits to institutions supervised by the eight administrations. Study results yielded 10 recommendations for improving approaches and modes of delivery in correctional education by (1) prioritizing sustainable education in a humane institutional environment through the recruitment of staff willing to engage in cross-professional dialogue; (2) investing in a range of job-driven vocational partnerships as part of positive engagement and collaboration with the public; (3) incentivizing and celebrating successes to increase motivation as part of individualized education planning that centers prisoners' diverse needs and learning styles; (4) fostering a peer-driven learning environment by including current and former prisoners in education and programming initiatives; (5) enhancing collaborations with local universities to provide advanced courses, credentialing, and engagement with professionals from a range of fields; (6) utilizing state-specific research and evaluation as central aspects of decision making and policy implementation in conjunction with evidence-based practices determined elsewhere; (7) providing educational opportunities for prisoners of all sentence lengths, ages, and conviction types to foster an engaged institutional environment; (8) increasing access to and use of technology to ensure that education and programming prepares prisoners for employment and success in a technologically based society; (9) cultivating a team-based approach to education, mental health services provision, programming, reentry, and security among all prison staff to ensure continuity of support and services; and (10) developing a clear mission consistently endorsed and adhered to by all prison administrators and workers to increase communication and receptivity to new ideas between facilities and the central office.
