Over 20,000 people are released annually from Ohio state prisons, with one-third re-arrested within three years. Lack of stable employment and housing hinders reintegration, but research shows second chances with support reduce recidivism, as seen in a 23% drop in reincarceration rates since 2008 under the Second Chance Act.
