The rate of repeat offenders in Michigan has fallen to 29.8 percent, the second lowest level since the state began recording three-year re-incarceration rates.
That number places Michigan among the top 10 states in the nation with the lowest recidivism rates, according to the Michigan Department of Corrections.
The 29.8 percent is a decline from the previous recidivism rate of 31 percent, which represented prisoners who paroled in 2012. Michigan's lowest rate came in 2014 when the rate was 29 percent.
