Utah Thrives Podcast | Recidivism in Utah
In a new report, Breaking the Cycle: Recidivism and Reentry in Utah, the Utah Foundation examines Utah’s efforts to prevent offenders from returning to prison after release.
Utah’s definition of recidivism differs from neighboring states. In fact, many who come back to prison for technical violations of their parole aren’t accounted for in the official numbers.
In this edition of Utah Thrives, a roundtable discussion of Utah Foundation staff and board members looks at reasons for recidivism and determined efforts to provide offenders with support and skills to keep them from returning to prison.
