What is reincarcerated?

Reincarceration refers to the act of an individual being arrested and imprisoned again after they have been released from prison for a previous offense. Reincarceration can occur for many reasons, including the commission of a new crime or violation of the terms of probation or parole. Reincarceration is often seen as a failure of the criminal justice system to rehabilitate and reintegrate individuals back into society. Research has shown that reincarceration can have negative effects on the individual, their families, and their communities, and can lead to a cycle of recidivism. To prevent reincarceration, some programs and policies focus on providing support and resources to individuals after their release from prison to help them successfully transition back into society.
