From the Council on Criminal Justice:
The first national report on recidivism rates in three years is just out from the Justice Department. In a new brief, the Council highlights key takeaways, noting that return-to-prison rates have dropped significantly. The three-year prison-return rate fell from about 50% for people released from state prison in 2005 to 39% for those released in 2012, a reduction that held steady through the full five-year tracking period. Rearrest rates, however, remain stubbornly high.
