There is no simple answer to this question, as there is no single, universally accepted definition of recidivism. For example, recidivism can vary by type of criminal reinvolvement (rearrest, reconviction, or reincarceration), type of reoffense (sex offense, violent offense, any offense, etc.), and by the amount of follow-up time (1 year, 3 years, 5 years, etc.). Nevertheless, the answer to this question can be found here: http://www.doc.state.mn.us/documents/04-07SexOffenderReport-Recidivism.pdf

What is the Recidivism rate of male sex offenders in New York State prisons?

According to the most recent recidivism study by the New York Department of Correctional Services, average recidivism for all felony offenders was approximately 40%. For sexual offenders, recidivism was significantly lower--approximately 4.2% (new offense of 1st degree sexual abuse), 4.2% (1st degree sodomy), 6.4% (1st degree rape), and 7.7% for "other sex offenses." Sexual offenders have a lower rate of recidivism for new sex offenses, but higher rates of recidivism for non-sexual offenses. (See "2004 Releases: Three-Year Post-Release follow-up" published by New York Department of Correctional Services). It should be of interest that the findings in the above-cited report are consistent with findings in earlier studies by the state of New York and studies by other states.

What brings an offender back to crime I want to know the most influential factors to Recidivism in today's America?

Not being able to find employment after having served a term in prison. Long prison terms such as common in the USA only aggravate this problem. Another major factor that plays a role is the fact that many prisons are much more a school for crime than an institution for reform. Cuts in Federal and State spending on prisons and farming prison management out to the lowest-bidding commercial enterprises does little (to put it mildly) to focus on education and prevention of recidivism in today's prisons.

Prisons in truth are run by the prisoners and not by the staff. If the lines are crossed or the code is broken someone will suffer. Sexual predators are often the targets within the system. Murders are high in the prison heirarchy. Sexual offenders are at the lowest rung of the ladder. Are sex offenders officially sequestered in CA state prisons - no. However, if they request Protective Custody status, they are housed separately from the general population.
