Eye-opening stats
Let the numbers speak.
4M+
In our nation, over 4 million are under some form of supervision, and 24% of all prison admissions are due to technical violations.
66%
The system has become a revolving door — 66% of formerly incarcerated persons are rearrested within three years of release, and more than 50% of them are incarcerated.
~75K
On any given day, about 75,000 people are incarcerated because of technical violations such as missing an appointment or failing to maintain employment. This costs states more than $2.8 billion per year.
Step into their lives.
Knowledge is the first step towards change.
Beyond absurd.
