Offenders involved in this study lacked basic financial knowledge which presented a barrier to their success upon release. The researcher modified existing curriculum and created a course in financial literacy for offenders within a medium security correctional facility based upon their personal experiences. The offenders gained financial knowledge as measured by a pretest and posttest covering financial topics. Offender financial histories were identified in several areas such as savings and debt, banking experience, and housing. The findings suggest students made gains in knowledge. This class covering money management is of great benefit to the offender as they prepare to once again reenter today's society.
