One exception to the 94% quoted by you is offenders who do religious courses in the prisons where the re-offending rate is as low as 5%. Unfortunately only a very small percentage of offenders actually do these courses. The prison where I was involved in out of a total of 500 only 15 attended the course of 14 weeks(Alpha course). We ran three courses a year. Out of the forty five who attended the confirmed statistics show that 40 have not gone back to jail. I personally have the assurance that there are 40 less criminals on our streets

The official fall back rate is presently about 77%
