Recidivism Studies

contact us

Our research unit uses official data from the Virginia Corrections Information System (VACORIS) to compile periodic recidivism studies and reports. These reports help our agency assess the effectiveness of our resources and programs, which aim to reduce the rate at which inmates and supervisees return to state custody.
