Reentry 2030 Could Keep 500,000+ People Out of Prison and Save States $43 Billion

Every year, nearly half a million people are released from state and federal prisons and return to their communities. Too often, they end up back in prison.

Reentry 2030 is a national initiative designed to change that by reducing the national recidivism rate 30% by 2030.  But what does reducing recidivism mean, in concrete terms, for people and states?

A sustained 30% reduction in recidivism held through 2040 would result in over 500,000 additional people remaining out of prison over a decade and could avert close to $44 billion in corrections costs.
