Abstract	A study explored the relationship of program components and variables within successful correctional vocational education programs in adult, state administered institutions and the outcomes of those programs. Program success was determined by analysis of existing quantitative data at the institutional level on post-release employment, performance evaluation, and recidivism. The methods for collecting information on program components was qualitative, utilizing information collected through a quasi-case study approach in nine institutions located across the United States. Successful programs were found to be characterized by ten critical components/variables that functioned to overcome problems encountered in many typical vocational programs in corrections: administration, coordination and cooperation, curriculum and instruction, facilities/equipment, funding, placement and followup, planning, policy, staffing, and support services. Four ideas were offered for consideration as elements within a federal policy on education: (1) specification of communication and development of inter-agency agreements between correctional vocational programs and other agencies, (2) funding provisions to provide seed and initial monies to initiate innovative vocational education programs in corrections, (3) encouragement of development of comprehensive educational programs providing entire range of necessary services, and (4) provisions for a research component.
