This is a wonderful opportunity to:

  • Share discussions on legal issues, policies, programs and training.
  • Assist each other with today's challenges in the dynamic field of corrections.
  • Explore faith based research and community involvement.

Good idea for a forum.  My inquiry is about bona fide recidivism rates (not really about religion).  Any sources?

Good morning, the main websit for recidivism rates is through the Bureau of Justice Statistics.   Go to www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs    Other sources are the state websites themselves from the research departments.  Links are located on our website or www.corrections. com   Hope this helps.

Religious Administrator(s):

In the State of Ohio we are confronted with some religious issues within our DOC and I am appealing to you for your help.   Would you please forward me any information from your State(s) as it relates to:   litigation and/or potential litigation on religious issues that your agency (past and current) has been challenged?  I need this information by March 28, 2007.  

Thanks in advance,

Gary
