Bill Summary

Relative to the reporting of recidivism reducing program outcomes by the Department of Correction. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Commissioner of the Department of Correction to annually report on the effectiveness of inmate rehabilitation programs in reducing recidivism, which is the tendency of a convicted criminal to reoffend. Specifically, the report must compare a group of inmates who participated in a program (the program group) with a similar group who did not (the control group) and state whether there is a statistically significant difference in their rates of reoffending. This aims to provide data-driven insights into which programs are most successful in helping individuals reintegrate into society and avoid further criminal activity.
