We researched five rehabilitation programs to obtain the do’s and don’ts of recidivism programs.  Some programs taught us the importance of counseling for employment, substance abuse, and education.  Other programs have shown us the problems with poor planning and lack of reinforcement within the programs.  As well as seeing what kind program we needed to make, we found that the problem is bigger than we had thought.  Just in FCI Morgantown alone, there are 200,000 inmates!  The cost for the prison for one year is $4,763,250,000, and that’s a lot of money!  All of that money is taken away from schools, roads, and other programs to benefit society.

The participants’ of the program are training up on the workforce.  Like the Positive Action program where we learned about narrowing their focus and mindset on their tasks.  The Positive Action program had to change their participant’s mindset of being lowlifes into good people in society.  Our program is giving the participants tools to get jobs to become productive members of their society.  The Preventing Parolee Crime Program had to help participants change their entire lives.  The ComALERT program was similar in their target audience.  To change people from uneducated, drug addicted bums into productive members of society took a great plan and a lot of work.  Any and all rehabilitation programs will take hard work and a controlled mindset to be productive.  The Resume Your Life program was well researched from other programs.  A good plan on how to slow down recidivism was devised.  Our program will benefit society with rehabilitated participants into upstanding citizens.  That will save the money from the prison system and put into other great projects.
