Confronting Confinement: A Report of the Commission on Safety and Abuse in America's Prisons (2011, background): “Our soaring prison costs coupled with a national rearrest rate of 67 percent and a re-incarceration rate of 52 percent three years after release is an indication of how far wrong we have gone (Langan and Levin 2002).”
