  • Two quasi-experimental propensity score matching studies found that receipt of a post-secondary degree during incarceration led to fewer re-incarcerations.

    “Two studies which employed a quasi-experimental design using propensity score matching found that receipt of a post-secondary degree during incarceration led to fewer re-incarcerations.”
  • Among 340 adults in New York State who received a one-year college certificate, associate degree, or bachelor's degree during incarceration, rearrest rates 3 years from release were reduced by 53% (9% vs 17%, p<0.001) compared with 340 matched eligible adults who did not participate in post-secondary education programs.

    “This study found a 53% reduction in rearrest rates 3 years from release (9% vs. 17%, p<0.001).39”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
