How about the stats on how many recidivate without “certified treatment?” And she is touting a 20% recidivism rate. Sorry, dear, I’m not buyin’ it!!
1.9% recidivism rate. Why can’t these people get their facts straight?
I am sick of this and I have decided to put up a similar website only my site will have nothing but ACTUAL facts. Her site states “Finally A Place for the Truth”
Well guess what…Two can play that game!
I will post the url once the site is active so everyone can view it and contribute.
If I’m not mistaken, the recidivism rate is a numbers game. When a parolee or probationer is placed back into custody, it is usually due to a technical violation in which no laws were broken. Here in Calif. it is extremely difficult to abide by all of these conditions. It is possible, as I am experiencing first hand. But I have not truly lived in these past 2+ years out. Only subsisted.
