8. Statistics from DOJ
• Of the 272,111 persons released from prisons in 15
States in 1994, an estimated 67.5% were rearrested
for a felony or serious misdemeanor within 3
years, 46.9% were reconvicted, and 25.4%
resentenced to prison for a new crime.
• The 272,111 offenders discharged in 1994 accounted
for nearly 4,877,000 arrest charges over their
recorded careers.
• Sex offenders were less likely than non-sex offenders
to be rearrested for any offense –– 43% of sex
offenders versus 68% of non-sex offenders.
9. The Magic Number
~ 40%
Almost 40% of the prison population are repeat offenders. Some of our
clients came up with a perfect euphemism for these offenders – “The
frequent flyers”
• The same criminals are coming back to the jails over and over again
• The same visitors are also coming back over and over again

19. M2SYS’s Strategy
Hybrid Biometric Platform™ (HBP) is an enterprise-ready biometric recognition system that
supports fingerprint, finger vein, palm vein, and iris biometrics. HBP is “plug-and-play” with
any of these biometric modalities, ensuring near 100% read rates for any biometric
technology implementation.
Features/Benefits:
• One integration provides access to an
enterprise-ready, Hybrid Biometrics™
system
• Immediately utilize fingerprint, finger
vein, palm vein, and iris recognition
• Unlike four, separate low-level
SDKs, Hybrid Biometric Platform™ is
pre-built, scalable, easily integrated, and
lowers total cost of ownership
• Ensure 100% read rates, regardless of
environmental, demographic, or other
factors that negatively impact some
forms of biometrics
