Recidivism studies conducted with the assistance of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) reveal that over 84% of BTL graduates do not return to prison within three years after release. Each year, Bridges To Life tracks a large and diversified sample group of BTL graduates after they are released from TDCJ prisons. In the most recent study of 6,346 BTL graduates released from 2011 to 2015, the recidivism rate is 15.6%, in contrast to the statewide rate of 21.2% for the same time period. Additionally, only 3% of released offenders in the BTL group returned to prison for committing a violent crime. Current national recidivism rates are estimated to be 37% (Pew Charitable Trusts, 2018).
