DESCRIPTION:Sadé Lindsay\,&nbsp\;assistant professor of public policy and s
 ociology\, Cornell \nUniversity\, will present "Signals from the Carceral 
 Tower: Race\, Prison Education Programs\, and Stigma in the Labor Market"&
 nbsp\;as part of the CPR Seminar Series.Abstract:This study examines the e
 ffectiveness of prison education programs (PEPs) in addressing labor marke
 t challenges for returning citizens\, who often face discrimination due to
  criminal record stigma. PEPs are seen as a potential solution to reduce s
 tigmatization by enabling returning citizens to signal higher productivity
  and lower reoffending risk to employers. Yet\, the impact of PEP credenti
 als on job opportunities remains unclear. Drawing on an audit study of 150
 2 employers in a skilled trade labor market\, I manipulated the presence o
 f credentials\, prison records\, and applicants' race to test hypotheses a
 bout the efficacy of PEPs on employer callback rates. Random-effect models
  indicated that (1) PEP credentials increased applicants' callback chances
  relative to returning citizens without them\, and (2) despite lower overa
 ll callback rates for Black men\, employers did not evaluate PEP credentia
 ls differently by race. This study advances research on labor market inequ
 alities among returning citizens\, particularly in skilled trade labor mar
 kets\, and provides empirical evidence supporting the signaling function o
 f PEP credentials. However\, PEPs do not drastically eliminate the mark of
  a criminal record. Thus\, I conclude by offering integrative approaches t
 o enhancing PEP effectiveness and reducing the cumulative effects of racis
 m and criminal record stigma.
