In the past 20 years, state spending on corrections has grown at a rate faster than every state budget category other than Medicaid, increasing from more than $12 billion in 1988 to more than $50 billion in 2008. The Pew Center on the States reports that more than 1 in 100 American adults are now behind bars.
Despite this huge increase in cost, recidivism rates remain high. Bureau of Justice Statistics research indicates that half of all individuals studied who were released from state prison were reincarcerated within three years. Most of the people released from prison, and many people released from jail, are placed under some form of community supervision. There are 5.1 million people (1 in 45 adults) on probation or parole today.
Keynote speakers will discuss the need to address recidivism rates and corrections spending. They will consider how best to assist states and localities that are struggling with unsuccessful and unsustainable prison and corrections policies.
