The State recidivism rate stands at 67.08%; with more than 900 individuals released each month.
A 67.08% recidivism rate means that 67 of every 100 men and women released from prison will reoffend within 3 years, and two thirds of those, will reoffend within 6 months.
That means that of the 900 released each month, approximately 482 of them will be back in prison within a year of their release.
What is different between the 482 that reoffend within a year of release and those that successfully reintegrate into productive, contributing members of society for 5 years and more?
Read on, to learn more about what ACM is doing to help men and women in prison to be transformed through the Power of God into the type of citizens you would like living next door to you when they are released.
