The Delaware Department of Correction Life Skills Program

August 1998
The Delaware Department of Correction Life Skills Program helps inmates in academics, violence reduction, and applied life skills. The core of the program is Moral Reconation Therapy, which is a systematic, step-by-step process of raising the moral reasoning level of students through a series of moral and cognitive stages. The findings and conclusions of this research, the NIJ Program Focus, The Delaware Department of Correction Life Skills Program, indicate that this program has successfully helped students to start their new lives.
