The Legislature finds and declares that according to 2013 RAND Corporation research, offenders who participate in quality education programs are 43 percent less likely to return to prison within three years. The Legislature further finds and declares that providing this group of individuals with skills essential for post-release success is paramount, in that it will reduce recidivism and improve post-release transition for offenders.
