三州累犯研究是由美国教育部惩教教育办公室惩教教育协会进行的。一项纵向研究涉及马里兰州、明尼苏达州和俄亥俄州三年多前获释的 3600 多名囚犯。这项研究以监禁期间的教育参与作为主要变量，结果表明，仅仅在监狱里上学就能将再次监禁的可能性降低 29%。转化为储蓄后，每花在教育上的每一美元都会为公民带来两美元以上的回报，从而减少监狱费用。在马里兰州，这意味着去年用于惩教教育的州年度预算为 11,700,000 美元，至少为该州返还了 23,280,000 美元。马里兰州教育部的惩教教育计划对州监狱教育计划负有法律责任。一段时间以来，州学监南希·格拉斯米克博士一直直言不讳地表达了她对监狱教育有效性的信念。虽然节省美元很重要，但犯罪率的减少本身并不能轻易转化为美元。
The Three State Recidivism Study was conducted by the Correctional Education Association for the United States Department of Education Office of Correctional Education. Over 3600 inmates, who were released more than three years ago in Maryland, Minnesota and Ohio, are involved in a longitudinal study. The study, which uses educational participation while incarcerated as the major variable, shows that simply attending school behind bars reduces the likelihood of re-incarceration by 29%. Translated into savings every dollar spent on education returns more than two dollars to the citizens in reduced prison costs. In Maryland, that means that last year’s $11,700,000 annual state budget for correctional education returned at least $23,280,000 to the state. The Correctional Education Program in the Maryland State Department of Education has legal responsibility for the state prison education programs. The State Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Nancy Grasmick, has been outspoken about her belief in the effectiveness of prison education for some time. While the savings in dollars is important, the reduction in crime itself cannot be so easily translated into dollars.
