Reentry and Recidivism

Overview

More than four in 10 offenders will be back in prison within three years of release. The challenges and barriers offenders face when leaving prison are significant, and their continued involvement in the criminal justice system comes at a great cost to them and society. State legislatures are taking a key role in elevating offender reentry from a corrections program to an integral part of sentencing and corrections policy aimed at reducing recidivism.
