The Problem -

Recidivism is the tendency for an offender to engage in repeated criminal behavior.

75% of released prisoners return to jail within five years of release in America.

Approximately 77 million Americans, or 1 in 3 adults, have a criminal record. Having a criminal record can make it difficult, or even impossible, for an individual to work in a given field, especially one that requires an occupational license.

A criminal record can reduce the likelihood of a callback or job offer by nearly 50 percent. The negative impact of a criminal record is twice as large for African American applicants.
