Will earning a college degree really benefit a person and help reduce recidivism?

Yes. We know that the intellectual rigors of post-secondary study changes a person. And with the change inherent in that process comes not only personal credibility, but also individual maturity.

These things, along with the newly acquired economic skills that an education brings, allows the individual to compete and thrive in our economy and become the kind of husband, father and citizen he was meant to be.

Not only does this make logical sense; it is also common sense. And, numerous recidivism studies have proven that the more education an ex-convict has, the lower his or her chance of recidivating.
