| 摘要 | A recent report by the Sentencing Project documents an encouraging trend. The prison population in the United States has fallen in 39 states, and the total prison population is down 7 percent from its peak in 2009. This is good news for the United States, as an increasing body of research has shown the negative effects that mass incarceration has on individuals, families, and communities, as well as the strain it puts on state budgets and correctional staff at all levels across the country. But a declining prison population necessarily means that thousands of individuals are taking the arduous road back from prison to their communities.
For many, this road ends up looking more like a roundabout than a highway, with more than 80 percent being arrested again less than a decade after release. Much has been tried to reduce recidivism but little has been shown to have significant positive effects. Over the past year, the American Enterprise Institute convened a group of scholars to delve into this problem, bringing together more than two dozen program evaluators, criminologists, and researchers to discuss what works and what does not in helping formerly incarcerated individuals successfully leave prison and reintegrate back into their communities.
