Wanted: jobs for released prisoners

Abstract

The need for occupational information about prisoners who seek work when released from federal and state institutions is pointed out. Institutions should adopt (1) a uniform program for gathering occupational data, using selection techniques now available and developing additional techniques where needed, and (2) a standard occupational classification procedure to make possible cooperation with employment offices. Conditions for the success of such a program for occupational rehabilitation of released prisoners, and reasons for its adoption, are presented.
