It will answer some of the questions you've probably always asked. How and why do people continue to live in and out of jail? According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics there are currently 2.3 million people incarcerated in prisons and jails across America. Nationally, 97% of the offenders in jail today will be released and then return to the communities from which they came. Statistics show that 30% of adult offenders released from state prisons are re-arrested within the first six months of their release. Even worse, within three years of their release from prison this increases to 67%, or two out of three, ex-offenders returning to prison. Sadly, revocations are the fastest growing category of prison admissions. Parole violators now account for 35% of new prison admissions as compared to only 17% in 1980.
