No. 50
(House Joint Resolution 100)

House Joint Resolution requesting the Governor to appoint a com-
mission, which would be composed of civic, business, and cor-
rectional leaders, to examine the possibilities of instituting rele-
vant training programs in correctional institutions which would
prepare inmates for ready employment on release, which would
supplement the communities' needs, and which would not compete
with private business.

Whereas, The recidivism rate of criminals proves that the
present correctional system is not effective in rehabilitating crim-
inals; and

Whereas, The majority of criminal offenders are persons with
low educational attainment and limited vocational skills; and

Whereas, One of the reasons that criminal offenders repeat
their criminal activities is that they are not able to find jobs and
particularly satisfying jobs with adequate salaries; and

Whereas, Job training programs for criminal offenders would
not be effective unless planned in conjunction with the business
community; otherwise convicts would be trained for jobs for which
there was no need or trained in out-dated techniques; and

Whereas, The many goods and services are needed by the
community which could be supplied by convict labor which would
not compete with private enterprise; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the Gov-
ernor be requested to appoint a commission, which would be com-
posed of civic, business, and correctional leaders, to examine the
possibilities of instituting relevant training programs in correc-
tional institutions which would prepare inmates for ready employ-
