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.

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.
