Even those who participated in substance-abuse counseling and the few education and job-training programs available while inside say those initiatives didn't prepare them for life back on the streets...

It leads to more homeownership--meaning fewer absentee landlords and the drug houses that can go with them. And a job can anchor an entire family.
