Iowa Prison Recidivism Status

This dataset contains deidentified case level records of individuals leaving prison (parole/special sentence, work release, or discharge) and reentering the community beginning in with the FY 2016 cohort. It also provides an individual's status at three years to assess whether reentry into the community was successful or whether the individual was reincarcerated. Research shows most individuals are at the highest risk to be reincarcerated within the first 12 months following their release from prison. After three years, the risk of reincarceration becomes much lower.

Dataset includes information regarding age, sex, race, original offense committed, convicting offense causing recidivism where applicable, and risk.
