Indiana can lead the nation in reentry outcomes. Here is the data.
We've mapped a path for Indiana to become the national model for dignity-first reentry outcomes backed by measurable data.
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Every year, Indiana spends billions on a system that fails. Here's why change is urgent:
$35K
Annual cost per person in Indiana prison
Before reentry even begins
68%
Recidivism rate without intervention
Within 5 years of release
10K+
People released annually from IDOC
Most without adequate support
$350M+
Wasted on recidivism annually
Preventable through reentry

At $35,000 per person per year — each person who stays out saves taxpayers, earns taxable income, and strengthens their community.
