Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is not entirely accurate. There have been instances where inmates on furlough have fled and/or committed serious offenses, but it is not the "vast majority." Research has shown that the rate of recidivism (the likelihood of committing a new offense) for inmates on furlough is actually lower than for those who are released from prison without furlough. However, this may vary depending on the specific conditions and restrictions of each furlough program.
