New USSC Research Report Examines Effects of Prison Length on Recidivism
FAC

April 29, 2020, 11:16 pm

The report empirically explores three potential relationships that may exist:

  1. Deterrent: As the prison length increases, the likelihood of recidivism decreases.
  2. Criminogenic: As the prison length increases, the likelihood of recidivism increases.
  3. No Effect: No statistically significant relationship between prison length and recidivism is identified.

Findings

  • In each model, prison sentences of longer than 10 years (120 months) had a deterrent effect.
  • In two of three models, the deterrent effect extended to prison sentences of longer than 5 years (60 months).
  • The Commission did not find any statistically significant effect (criminogenic or deterrent) for prison sentences of 5 years (60 months) or shorter.
