    Following in the footsteps of the cost-benefit study done by the Washington State Institute for Public Policy, the Correctional Service of Canada has commissioned its own review of the benefits of correctional programming.  The Net Federal Fiscal Benefit of CSC Programming examines the costs and benefits of seven programming categories:  violence prevention, family violence, substance abuse, sex offender, living skills, education, and employment.  While the latter two did not fare well in the analysis, the researchers offer a caveat regarding those findings.
