3.  There have been ups and downs the past 34 years
in incarceration rates, and the overall numbers
show that the number of people in prison is
increasing.
 Recidivism steadily grew from 36 percent in 1976
to 46 percent in 2004, also have contributed to
prison intake and population growth

5.  Offender success while on community
supervision
 lower crime rates, fewer new criminal sentences
resulting in prison, and fewer parole violations and
new criminal convictions by parolees has resulted in
a prisoner population decline of nearly 6,000
prisoners

7.  Instead of locking
them up, we need to
let them stay in the
community so they
can finish school and
maintain their jobs.
