The Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO) Transitional Jobs program significantly reduces recidivism according to a report released by HHS’ Administration for Children and Families (ACF). Ex-prisoners who had access to CEO’s services were less likely to be convicted of a crime and re-incarcerated. The reductions were particularly large for those ex-prisoners who enrolled in the program shortly after release; they experienced reductions in recidivism up to 26 percent.
This ACF policy of equal employment opportunity includes a prohibition and zero tolerance policy towards any and all unlawful discrimination including but not limited to, harassment, including sexual harassment, or retaliation.
