The Michigan Prisoner ReEntry Initiative is a cooperative effort led by the Michigan Department of Corrections, and involving multiple other state offices and many community organizations. Its objective is to create safer neighborhoods and better citizens. MPRI involves planning for successful re-entry for parolees into their home community from well before the prison release date.
The Michigan Prisoner ReEntry Initiative has proven to reduce recidivism. Prior to MPRI, the return rate for parolees in Michigan was 48% within the first 24 months. The return rate for 1,200 MPRI participants, was 23%—a 77% success rate—within the first 24 months. This represents significant progress.
The Michigan Department of Corrections announced a $9,000,000 net savings from the first year of the program.
