Abstract

The statistics are available from 5 drug programs, 13 prerelease centers, and 11 nonprerelease institutions. A total of 941 offenders were released from these correctional facilities. Information includes statistics on recidivism rates associated with individual characteristics concerned with release variables, nature of present offense variables, personal background characteristics, criminal history variables, furlough participation variables, and release followup variables. The tables contain statistical data describing characteristics of individuals released from each prerelease facility during 1980 and the rates of recidivism cross-tabulated with each of the categories of the statistical data for these individuals.
