Religiousness and Post-Release Community Adjustment

Downloaded 58 times since 12/04/2006.

Sumter, Melvina T.

Published 1999. 202 pages.

The relationship between the religiosity of inmates and their post-release community adjustment is examined. Six chapters follow an abstract: introduction; religion and the religious experience in prison; literature review; methodology; results; and discussion. While there appears to be a link between reduced recidivism and inmates who believe in the supernatural, there is very little to no difference between "religious" and "non-religious" inmates and lower recidivism.
