In a study conducted by the New York State Department of Correctional Services (DOCS) there was found to be a significant effect on recidivism among those who received their GED during incarceration.

Among inmates first released from DOCS' custody in 1996 due to parole release, conditional release, or maximum expiration of sentence, those who earned a GED while incarcerated returned to custody after a three-year exposure period at a significantly lower rate (32%) than offenders who did not earn a GED while incarcerated (37%). The relationship between GED attainment and return-to-custody was stronger among offenders who were under age 21 at release (40% return rate for GED recipients; 54% return rate among those with no GED) than among inmates who were age 21 or older at release (30% return rate for GED recipients; 35% return rate among those with no GED).

The significantly lower return rates of offenders who earned a GED while incarcerated compared to those who did not confirms the positive relationship between these two factors found in previous studies conducted by the Department of Correction.

The finding in this study that the relationship between earning a GED and rate of return-to-custody is especially strong for young offenders validates the importance of the Department of Correction's emphasis on preparing inmates under the age of 21 to pass the GED exam. The finding of statistical significance, the substantial follow-up period involved (36 months), and the large sample of offenders used add further confidence to the study conclusions.
