The relationship between correctional education and recidivism rates have often been overwhelming with support. However, the examination of whether correctional education affects prisoner misconduct is significantly underrepresented in criminological research. This study aims to determine whether participation in a correctional education program reduces rates of prisoner misconduct. The data utilized for the study was collected by the Bureau of Justice and included a nationally representative sample of male and female inmates within state and federal correctional facilities. However, for the purpose of the study only federal inmates were examined. Results revealed that those that participated in education were more likely to engage in prison misconduct. As for policy implications, the adoption of the RNR model, specifically including components of cognitive behavioral therapy programs were addressed.
