However, developmental and life-course (DLC) perspectives place little emphasis on inmate experiences despite incarceration being a major life event. Fitting correctional theory into the developmental framework and embedding the inmate in a broader context can enhance how we view desistance by identifying the key risk factors across both these perspectives. Using aspects from both DLC and correctional perspectives, this dissertation disentangles the “black box” of the prison experience by examining how the completion of programming that aligns with key aspects of the turning point literature, such as family programming, cognitive-behavioral interventions, and prison industry work programs, impact incarceration. This dissertation also provides an innovative way of viewing program completion that is both informed by the DLC literature and goes beyond whether program completion predicts a lower likelihood of offending, but more so how it potentially attenuates the impact of pre-prison characteristics (i.e., risk factors) and the structural conditions of incarceration (i.e., security level, sentence length, movement, waitlist status). 2020 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1613748135844868 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1613748135844868 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
