Iowa offenders paroled from prison are significantly less likely to return to prison for a new conviction than are those offenders who expire their sentence.

An offender reentry grant program funded through the Governor’s Office of Drug Control Policy supports one reentry coordinator at each of the following institutions: Mount Pleasant Correctional Facility (MPCF), Fort Dodge Correctional Facility and the Clarinda Correctional Facility.

All offenders were tracked through mid-2003. This results in a follow-up period of slightly less than two years up to four and one-half years.

In this issue we explore information in the reports of violation that led to probation revocations to prison.
