Brown County jail anomaly. Brown logged zero IDOC admissions/releases for October but is holding 26 IDOC offenders in its county jail — an unusually high count for a population of ~15,200. Worth examining whether this reflects an inter-county hold-over arrangement or a data-collection variance.

Statewide recidivism trend (IDOC)

Per IDOC, recidivism is defined as a return to incarceration within 3 years of release from a state correctional facility. Extracted from the 2024 Annual Report Year-to-Year Recidivism chart.

2024 (back up)

The 2024 reversal matters. Indiana’s statewide recidivism dropped to 33.78% in 2022 (the post-pandemic low), then climbed back to 38.16% in 2024 — nearly the 2019 baseline. Read against this, the IRACS Scott County result (9.5% recidivism after 2 years, vs. Scott’s pre-program 26%) is even more striking: the program is moving the curve in the opposite direction of the state trend.
