Topic: Everything Education / Stay Connected To Lower Recidivism Rates It’s unbelievably important to stay connected with an inmate while they’re in prison. Inmates who maintain strong relationships with family and friends while incarcerated are LESS likely to re-engage in criminal activity after they’ve been released. Three simple steps can go a long way toward reducing recidivism: 1. Increased Visitation 2. Pre- and Post-Release Counseling 3. Frequent Communication If family and friends maintain a steady stream of communication with their loved one, it will help them continue to feel connected and important to the outside world. |
