- Summary:
-
This study was conducted to assess vocational program needs and development in Illinois correctional institutions. Specific objectives included the following: (1) to review results of efforts both nationally and in Illinois to meet the vocational needs of adult and juvenile offenders; (2) to conduct a survey of twenty-three correctional institutions offering vocational programs; (3) to follow up a selected sample of ex-offenders to identify their attitudes toward the type of vocational education programs offered; and (4) to provide recommendations for future programs or ancillary service development. The primary data-gathering instrument was a questionnaire, which was sent to residents, vocational instructors, administrative staff, vocational counselors, and correctional counselors at the institutions. In addition, further information was obtained through on-site visitations. The overall conclusion of the report is that a complete vocational process, from intake and diagnosis to placement, follow-up and feedback should be designed and implemented. The questionnaire, analysis of each questionnaire item, and analysis of open-ended questions are appended. (BB)
