Appying
parole at first eligibility:
How much public safety does
it actually buy? A study of
prisoner release and
recidivism in Michigan,
August 2009
An analysis of 76,721
cases of Michigan prisoners
sentenced to indeterminate terms
after 1981 and released for the
first time from 1986 through
1999. The results show that
continuing to incarcerate people
who have served their minimum
sentences for an additional year
or two doesn't significantly
improve public safety.
Examining re-offense rates by
offense type shows that those
sentenced for homicides and sex
offenses are least likely to
return to prison for new crimes.
