RICHMOND, Va. (WDBJ) - Virginia’s recidivism rate remains among the lowest in the United States for the fifth year in a row.
Recidivism refers to a person committing a new offense within a certain follow-up period that results in a new sentence. Governor Ralph Northam said Monday Virginia’s rate stands at 23.9%, second only to South Carolina’s 21.9%. Forty-two states report re-incarceration of state-responsible inmates within three years of their release.
“We all benefit when the individuals in our correctional system have the opportunity to learn, grow and return to society as productive citizens,” said Governor Northam. “Our success is the direct result of effective reentry programs and strong partnerships across our Commonwealth. I remain grateful to the hardworking professionals at the Virginia Department of Corrections who are dedicated to rehabilitation, transforming lives and building safer communities.”
