inmate rehabilitation
Convict transformation programs
Inmate rehabilitation refers to programs and efforts aimed at preparing prisoners for successful reintegration into society.
These include education, vocational training, substance abuse treatment, and mental health services.
The goal is reducing recidivism—the tendency to reoffend—rather than punishment alone: The prison expanded its inmate rehabilitation programs after studies showed lower reoffense rates among participants.
