the problem we addressed was recidivism, which is affected by the community, the laws in place (CORI) and the prison system itself. Leighton & Roy (2001:34) illustrates several causes of recidivism that correspond with the assertions of most scholars in the field of criminal justice and psychology (Mayer, Salovey & Caruso, 2004). Among all offenders under age 21, the recidivism rate is 35.5 percent, while offenders over 0000004983 00000 n
The actual cause of prison recidivism can be tied to a combination of personal, economic, sociological and lifestyle factors. Therefore, definitions can vary by changing the group, the criteria, or the amount of time for which recidivism is calculated. 0000009224 00000 n

Prisoners represent a highrisk group compared to other offenders7 with huge associated costs and a large contribution to overall societal criminality and violence. Causes A 2011 study found that harsh prison conditions, including isolation, tended to increase recidivism, though none of these effects were statistically significant. One of the underlying causes for the large number of inmates in the United States corrections system is recidivism. Recidivism is typically measured by criminal acts that resulted in the rearrest, reconviction, and/or reincarceration of the offender over a specified period of time. Several policies and practices recidivism rates may be attributable to (1) inconsistency of approach among program staff, (2) lack of program continuity in the transition from residential confinement to aftercare, and (3) lack of long-term challenge of recidivism is the expectation that social workers will successfully treat incarcerated sex offenders. A study in USA shows that recidivism rates decline relatively consistently as age increases. These are the three recidivism measures used in this report. While incarceration is focused on punishing and rehabilitating prisoners, one of the most detrimental factors to proper rehabilitation can be the social interactions that inmates have while incarcerated. 80 29
