There was a 1990s US Justice Department study of 15 states that showed 67% of former inmates released from state prison had returned at least once in the following three years. I haven't seen a study about federal inmate statistics. But that number jives with a California study that showed 70% of its state inmates returning in the first three years.

I'd like to know the return rates between first timers, second timers, third timers, and so-on. Many hardened long-term criminals actually feel more secure in jail and do a crime after release to return to what they've known longer: being securely confined than being free with life's risks and trying to cope with the outside world. Sad when you think about it.
