“…As Kruttschnitt and Gartner (2003) had previously found, younger women were significantly more likely to be re-incarcerated (p< .001). This held true in the present study.…”

“…For instance, both men and women are less likely to reoffend as they get older (Deschenes et al, 2007;McIvor et al 2011). Alternatively, youthfulness, in terms of age of the offender and age at first incarceration increase the likelihood of recidivism (Kruttschnitt & Gartner, 2003;Stuart & BriceBaker, 2004). Age has been shown to be in a robust inverse relationship with criminal behavior (Sweeten et al 2013).…”

“…Researchers have found that offenders with a lengthy criminal history were more likely to re-offend (Kruttschnitt & Gartner, 2003). Being young, lacking a pro-social network, failing to obtain meaningful employment, having an extensive criminal history, and abusing substances correlate to a high risk of recidivism (Huebner & Berg, 2011;Laub & Sampson, 2001;Tripodi, 2007;Tripodi et al, 2010).…”

<p>The study of prisoner recidivism has long captured the interest of criminal justice researchers. Recidivism studies attempt to answer a variety of questions ranging from what are the characteristics of those who reoffend, what factors predict offender recidivism, and how long does a recidivist remain in the community before finding themselves in conflict with the law again. Unlike many studies that examine recidivism over a relatively short term – three to five years, this study investigates recidivism over a 15-year period among a group of female offenders released from a Massachusetts prison in 1995. Findings point to three propositions moving forward. First, correctional programming geared specifically toward youthful offenders might be necessary to promote desistance over the life course. Second, offender monitoring and accountability up to 36 months after release from incarceration may reduce the risk of re-offending. Third, studies with a follow-up period of ten years would be a valuable addition to the recidivism literature to advance our understanding of chronic offending among women.</p>

“…The majority of these women had at least one Food Stamp spell. This high match rate between the state's prison and social and child welfare records underscores the economic disadvantage of the population of female prison inmates (Kruttschnitt and Gartner, 2003). Therefore, our study sample is well characterized as consisting of economically disadvantaged first-time female state prison inmates.…”

“…But since 1980, the number of incarcerated females has risen by about 10 percent annually (Rafter, 1990;Beck and Karberg, 2000). On any given day, there are approximately 95,000 women serving time in state and federal prisons and roughly an equal number are incarcerated in county jails (Greenfeld and Snell, 2000;Kruttschnitt and Gartner, 2003). This paper adds to the literature on social and economic consequences of incarceration by examining how prison affects women's subsequent employment.…”

Our analysis indicates that although prison is associated with declining employment rates during the quarters leading up to women's incarcerations, it does not appear to harm their employment prospects later on. In the short-term, we estimate that women's post-prison employment rates are about four percentage points above expected levels. However, these employment gains do not persist and gradually fall back to pre-prison levels. But for some groups of women, including those with four or more children, those who served longer prison spells, and those who served time for person-related or drug-related offenses, we find that modestly positive employment effects that are on the order of a few percentage points persist. These results indicate that time out of the work force or diminished skills are not costs associated with incarcerating women. Nor does a prison record appear to send an undesirable signal in the labor market that reduces former female inmates' employment chances. Although incarcerated women's subsequent employment rates are very low, they do not appear to be low because of their experience in prison.JEL Classification: J29
