Title = {The Effect of the Prison Industry Enhancement Certificate
Program on Labor Market Outcomes of Prison
Releasees},
Year = {2009},
Abstract = {This article examines the effects of the federal Prison
Industry Enhancement Certificate Program (PIE) on
unemployment duration, length of employment, and earnings of
inmates released between 1996 through 2001 across 5 states.
This is the first nationally representative dataset of PIE
and this is the first comprehensive study to analyze the
effect of this program on labor market outcomes of the
inmate. The results indicate that the PIE program may
significantly decrease unemployment duration and increase
the length of employment duration for both men and women. In
addition, the PIE program may also significantly increase
employment and earnings of the former male inmate. <a
