  6. Recidivism and the Cost • 43% of individuals released from prison were incarcerated again within three years • One in 31 adults have been incarcerated or are on probation or parole • Between 1959 and 2009, the prison population increased by 705% • State spending on corrections is $52 billion • Currently, one out of eight State employees work for a correction agency Pew Foundation Report 2011

  7. Recidivism and Unemployment 84.89% of federal offenders who had supervision revoked were unemployed at the time

  8. Job Placement For the Ex-Offender • Employer selection is critical • Market to small and mid-size employers • Identify industries with high turnover – clients with criminal records cannot change jobs for an extra 25 cents per hour • Constant follow-up by job developers and employment counselors is critical • Know what convictions each client has on his/her record • Typical industries open to hiring ex-offenders include: Construction, Light Industrial, Manufacturing, Logistics and Warehousing
