---|---|---|---|---|
Prisoners with little or no previous education with a growing string of convictions – representing a ‘disadvantaged’ background | Modest levels of engagement and success with the progam trigger ‘rehabilitation’ process in which the inmate experiences self-realization and social acceptability (for the first time) | Lowest levels of reconviction as compared with statistical norm for such inmates. |
