| | | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The Illinois Department of Corrections operates one of the largest prison systems in the nation. The agency is committed to operating a safe and secure prison system while providing prison-based treatment programs and services to enhance the successful reentry of inmates into society. Ultimately this department will be and should be judged not only on its ability to ensure public safety, but on its ability to reduce recidivism as well. The recidivism rate for Fiscal Year 2009 in Illinois is 51.3 percent. While the current rate is down from 54.4 percent in 2003, we must continue to reduce this number. | | | | Date Created: | 05 18 2010 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000038380 Original UID: 19114 FIRST WORD: Annual | |
