Predicting Work Release Performance For Federal Inmates

The problem was to determine the ability of 29 selected independent variables to predict work release performance. An analysis of the data via multiple linear regression showed that the MMPI-Pd Scale, longest time one job, GATB-V, age first arrested, wage on work release, longest prior sentence, number times arrested, and age at present provided a significant combination of predictors, with a multiple R of .63.
