ONE HALF OF THE WOMEN PLACED ON 24 MONTH PAROLE FROM THE DETROIT HOUSE OF CORRECTION RETURNED TO PRISON WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THEIR PAROLE.
Abstract
THE STUDY COMPARES THE PAROLE VIOLATORS WITH NONVIOLATORS. INFORMATION CONCERNING INDIVIDUALS WAS OBTAINED FROM FILES OF THE MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REPORTS OF THE PSYCHOLOGIST AT THE DETROIT HOUSE OF CORRECTIONS WHO HAD INTERVIEWED EACH WOMAN. REGULAR EMPLOYMENT AND RESIDENCE WITH FAMILY WERE SHOWN TO BE HIGHLY RELATED TO PAROLE SUCCESS. PRIOR RECORDS, ESPECIALLY FOR ADDICTION AND PROSTITUTION WERE SIGNIFICANT AMONG PAROLE VIOLATORS.
