by Frequency of Release FY 2016

higher than the one year re-incarceration rate in FY 2015 and 2% higher than in

FY 2010. Non-federal inmates who are re-incarcerated have a significantly higher

incidence of mental illness, but are similar to federal offenders who are re-

incarcerated in most other attributes.
