Reduced Recidivism: Recidivism is expensive for society, with the cost of incarceration in the United States alone exceeding $80 billion per year. Investing in programs that teach employability skills to inmates can lead to significant cost savings in the long run.
Increased Employment: Inmates who learn employability skills are more likely to find and keep jobs after release. This can lead to improved financial security, better housing, and stronger family relationships, all of which are factors that can help reduce recidivism.
Community Safety: When individuals are employed and have a sense of purpose, they are less likely to engage in criminal activity. This can lead to safer communities for everyone.
