Autumn on the recidivism rate of ex-convicts

Ex-cons getting out of jail and going into the workforce, how will this affect the economy?
The national rate of recidivism is about forty-five percent; Ohio’s recidivism rate is lower than the national rate and has been decreasing for the past seven years. Recidivism is a relapse into crime.
The recidivism rate for Ohio was thirty-nine point five percent in two thousand and three.
In two thousand and eight the rate decreased to thirty-one point two percent, and in two thousand and nine the rate decreased to twenty-eight point seven percent.
A study found that incarceration declined the subsequent employment rates by fifteen to thirty percentage points.
Throughout the research that has been done I noticed that when ex-cons are in jail it decreases the employment rate and increases the unemployment rate.
I would like to introduce Mrs. Sandy Monfort, she is the Reentry Coordinator at the West Central Ohio Reentry Coalition. She helps people that are getting out of jail to get a job and get back into a life they can live in.
