Answer:

Findings are consistent: participation in correctional education reduces recidivism.

Step-by-step explanation:

After reading the Evaluation of the Windham School District Correctional Education Programs, it becomes clear that offenders who obtained a GED while incarcerated actually had lower rates of recidivism, (compared to offenders who did not have a GED). Programs are designed with the aim to provide offenders with the skills needed to obtain employment when they are released, so it's easier for them to fit into society.
