Definición

  • As early as the 1920s, American departments of corrections implemented work release programs to reduce the employability risk factors (ERFs) of offenders released from the prison and back into society. The Bureau of Justice Statistics shows that about 500,000 offenders return home each year, and about 60 percent of them will violate their terms of release.
