Recidivism, or the tendency of individuals to re-offend after release from incarceration, remains a significant challenge for society, contributing to increased crime rates, strained public resources, and safety concerns for communities. The Second Chance Act has significantly reduced recidivism across the U.S., but there’s still work to be done. Here's what we can see in the recent report: https://lnkd.in/gCtEx2bx 23% Drop in Reincarceration Rates: State-level reincarceration rates have fallen since 2008, proving that coordinated policies and programs can improve reentry outcomes. Cost Savings and Human Impact: States could save an estimated $8 billion by reducing recidivism further. Lowering reincarceration cuts costs and keeps families together and communities safer. Bold Goals for 2030: Several states, including Missouri and Alabama, have set ambitious goals to improve access to jobs, housing, and mental health services for those leaving prison. While the data shows progress, sustained efforts are needed to scale up what works. By supporting initiatives that improve reentry services, we can all help reduce recidivism.
