A study by the U.S. Department of Justice found that fully 83% of prisoners let out on early release programs were re-arrested within nine years.
Overall, 68 percent of released state prisoners were arrested within three years, 79 percent within six years and 83 percent within nine years.
The 401,288 released state prisoners were arrested an estimated 2 million times during the nine years after their release, an average of five arrests per released prisoner.
On an annual basis, 44 percent of prisoners were arrested during the first year after release, 34 percent were arrested during the third year and 24 percent were arrested during the ninth year.
Five percent of prisoners were arrested during the first year after release and were not arrested again during the 9-year follow-up period.
How best to intervene so that kids, who might be getting into minor trouble - "Broken glass" crimes - don't graduate to more violent crime after spending time in prison?
Does a kid caught with the wrong amount of coke or heroin deserve to be locked up for years? And what happens to him while in prison? I am not a big "Rehabilitation" proponent except for younger prisoners who have a better chance of turning things around with a little education - and local programs that target these kids before they get to prison deserve local support.
