Abstract
⺠A prison term is associated with an increased likelihood of recidivism. ⺠Prison appears to increase property and drug, and not violent or other, recidivism. ⺠This effect arises primarily in comparison to probation, not jail. ⺠The criminogenic effect of prison is similar for females and males. ⺠Prison is more likely to increase drug recidivism among males.
