Abstract

Chapter 10 is the “Results” section of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) report and contains extensive quotation from inmates, teachers, and CDCR administrators about vocational education in California prisons. The Results section is focused to responses to the CDCR’s 12 research questions. Of these questions, the most general, and most important, is Question 6, which is about how the vocational education classes program fits with the goals of the California Logic Model developed by the Expert Panel (2007). In this context, there is also an important but briefer section presenting the quantitative data that we were able to generate. In large part, this was in response to the CDCR’s demands for “numbers, numbers, numbers” to legitimize evidence-based policy decisions that would presumably be made about the funding of vocational education in California prisons.
