Description

One in 200 adult Pennsylvanians is currently incarcerated; 90% of the inmates currently in a Pennsylvania stat prison will eventually be released. This report found that a large proportion of those released will return to some sort of offending behavior. This groundbreaking and comprehensive study represents the keystone of the Corbett Corrections Reform initiative. It presents a mixed picture of recidivism rates in Pennsylvania. While on the one hand reincarceration rates are going down, rearrest rates have been flat or slightly rising. Recidivism rates have remained virtually unchanged over at least the past decade in Pennsylvania. The study examined 38 privately run and 14 state-run halfway houses. It found that 67% of inmates sent to halfway houses were rearrested or sent back to prison within three years, compared with 60% of inmates who were released to the streets. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
