ANNOTATION: Those interested in the relationship between employment and recidivism experienced by parolees should find this interesting reading. “Along with determining whether obtaining employment on release from prison [in Texas] is associated with decreased odds of reincarnation, this article analyzes whether obtaining employment is associated with increase time to reincarceration” (p.1). While getting a job following release from prison does not largely reduce reincarceration long-term, the time it took for employed parolees to recidivate was longer.
