Notes: “Recidivate 1 Year” indicates those released prisoners who returned to prison within one year of their release (analogous for “Recidivate 3 Year”). Column 2 has fewer observations to allow everyone to have three years of post-release data, whereas Column 1 only requires one year of post-release data.
