Multistate Criminal History Patterns of Prisoners Released in 30 States

This report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics found that an estimated 11 percent of the 404,638 prisoners released in 30 states during 2005 were arrested at least once in another state within five years following release. The likelihood that prisoners were arrested out of state following release increased with the number of out-of-state arrests in their criminal history.
