Point of View

I was recently reading about the criminal justice system, specifically corrections, and how the recidivism rate between 2016 and 2019 showed that within ten years of release, 82% of state inmates were arrested again, and that 62% of those arrested went back to prison. So basically, 62% of the incarcerated returned to prison…not a good rate and certainly flies in the face of one of the goals, (or desired outcomes), of the criminal justice system. *(Note that 2016-2019 was the latest statistics that I could find, and that the “arrests” and re-imprisonment were for crimes of homicide, rape, and sexual assault). So what is the solution?
