Going Back to Jail Without Committing a Crime

This report presents data on reasons other than criminal behavior that 5-Key Model study participants report they were re-arrested.

These technical violations – or violations of the conditions of probation or parole supervision after an individual is released from incarceration – significantly contribute to recidivism across the United States and bring hundreds of thousands of people back to jail every year. The circumstances of re-arrest for those who had not engaged in crime are examined and readers are asked to think about whether current policy and practices are meeting the stated purpose and goals of probation and parole.
