Joyce Foundation Releases Transitional Jobs Report August 12, 2009 -- The Joyce Foundation recently presented the findings from its Transitional Jobs Reentry Demonstration. The report stresses that the number of people in prison in America has quadrupled over the past three decades. States spend over $38 billion per year on prison costs, a number that factors out to over $134 per citizen. By promoting reentry programs like the ones offered by Safer Foundation, communities can help lower recidivism rates and dramatically cut both the fiscal and human costs of imprisonment.
