A trial program is carried out to lower the recidivism rate of convicts (that is, the rate at which released prisoners commit additional crimes). The program selects men in county jails serving two years or less according to the first letter of their last name: prisoners with last names beginning with the letters A-M receive intense drug rehabilitation, psychotherapy (if needed) and help finding a job after their release. Prisoners with last names beginning with letters N-Z receive no additional aid.
