Dropping Out and Its Ultimate Consequence: A Study of Dropouts in Prison.

Stephens, Robert T.; Repa, J. Theodore

Urban Education, v26 n4 p401-22 Jan 1992

Compares 220 adult male felons incarcerated in New York State's Sing Sing Correctional Facility (79 percent are dropouts and 84 percent are from urban settings) to dropouts in the literature. The dropouts have many similarities with nonincarcerated dropouts and have more in common with them than with fellow inmates. (SLD)
