Which is the most likely reason that the failure rate of paroled inmates is very high? Inmates are required to undergo educational and vocational programs that have proven to be universally unsuccessful. Inmates are continuously supervised by their parole officers after release, which makes it easier for small violations to be noticed. Inmates are not eligible for intermediate sanctions or community corrections that may help them in their reentry into society. Prisons do little to prepare inmates for successful reintegration back into society.
