I would like to know more about the information you have submitted. What state? Is your report an analysis of actual historical data or an hypothesis and how did you arrive at this result? Any per person cost vs incarceration cost pe capita? Recidivism rate percentage and over what period of time? How do local counties respond to this perspective?
My interest have come from personal experience as well as my course of study since release 24 months ago. I am from Oklahoma and the fact that I had personal forsight and was able to maintain personal discipline long enough to stumble into the Veteran's Aduministration where I was provided with housing and counseling and medical support, and last but not least, a sense of belonging that I could adhere to while starting to rebuild my own life was necessary for me to begin to assert myself in research of services and programs that would consider and accept me. Please adise. Charles
