2015 Recidivism Study
State of Arkansas Department of Corrections June 29, 2020 To: Arkansas Board of Corrections From: Wendy Kelley, Secretary I’m pleased to share with you the Recidivism Report produced by the Arkansas Department of Corrections Research and Planning Division. Recidivism affects everyone and there is no single cause as to why one reengages in criminal activities. This report presents a mixed picture of recidivism rates in Arkansas from offenders who were either released from an Arkansas Department of Correction facility or an Arkansas Community Corrections facility or went flat. The data provided here should be interpreted as descriptive in nature only of offenders released during 2015. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive view of recidivism from the 2015 Release Cohorts and the data provided here should be interpreted as exploratory and descriptive in nature. Readers are advised to use caution when comparing recidivism rates with other states as well as the state’s definition of recidivism which impact the numbers. In addition to updating the overall trends in recidivism such as age, race, gender, time under supervision and education among other variables, this report adds new measures of recidivism. These new measures include recidivism rates by sex offense status, security-terrorist threat groups, as well as, a breakdown by gender and top five offenses. These measures will assist the Department of Corrections in its continued efforts to prepare offenders with appropriate programs and services to return to society as law-abiding citizens. In an effort to reduce recidivism rates, the Department of Corrections provides various treatment programs, reentry programs, work opportunities, educational opportunities and vocational training while providing for public safety and carrying out the mandates of the courts. -

As acknowledged in the Arkansas State Department of Health’s (“ADH”) own guidance, correctional facilities and detention centers . pose a high risk for transmission of COVID- 19” due to their “congregate nature.” See ADH COVID-19: Guidance for State Correctional Facilities and Local Detention Facilities, dated Mar. 27, 2020 (“3/27/20 ADH Guidance, Def. Ex. 10”) (Dkt. No. 36-10). Thus, Defendants knew that, unless they fully prepared to take swift and systemwide action in the face of the greatest pandemic in modern history, it would only be a matter of time before COVID-19 would infect staff, incarcerated people, or both, with likely serious injury and possible death to follow. And the blueprint for this swift and systemwide action was laid out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (“CDC”) guidance, which is specifically geared towards correctional facilities and identifies in detail the steps that Defendants should take in order to stem and mitigate the spread of COVID-19. -
Arkansas Department of Corrections
Arkansas Department of Correction Annual Report FY 2015 Arkansas Department Of Correction FY2015FY2015 Director‟s Message: A As Director of the Arkansas Department of Correction, I am pleased to submit the ADC Fiscal Year A 2015 Annual Report, a showcase of different initiatives and agency accomplishments achieved in FY15. For another Fiscal Year, the Arkansas Department of Correction experienced an increase in the nnual Report inmate population. Our jurisdictional count reached over 18,000 inmates. Populations and challenges nnual Report may change from year to year throughout our facilities but our commitment to excellence has not changed. Although an expanding inmate population can present challenges to ADC professionals, the primary goal is to provide the best in correctional services at the lowest possible cost for the citizens of Arkansas. The ADC received „checks‟ symbolic of energy savings and incentives from CenterPoint Energy and Entergy. The checks for energy efficiency incentives total close to $400,000 from all efforts combined and amount to savings of about $2.8 million. Down on the farm, the layer operation came into production at the Cummins Unit. Eggs from one of the three layer houses will be used to feed the entire inmate population, while eggs from the other two layer houses will be sold to county jails or prisons in other states. This agricultural work opportunity is just one of the many programs provided to the inmates to strengthen their work ethic. The Arkansas Department of Correction provides various other treatment programs, work opportunities, education programs and vocational training while providing for public safety and carrying out the mandates of the courts. -
