Criminal recidivism is a big problem for most major cities in the U.S., but Philadelphia may have it worse than most. Each year, 650,000 prisoners are released from federal and state prisons, and more than 35,000 of them return home to Philadelphia. In addition, around 24,000 Philadelphians are in local, state, and federal prisons in any given year, giving Philadelphia the highest per-capita incarceration rate of America’s largest cities.
