-|Description=The Cycle of Incarceration refers to the phenomenon where individuals who have been incarcerated are more likely to reoffend and return to prison. This cycle is perpetuated by a number of factors, including limited access to education and employment opportunities, lack of support networks, and mental health and addiction issues. The result is a vicious cycle that can be difficult to break, leading to high rates of recidivism and a strain on the criminal justice system. Addressing the root causes of the cycle of incarceration is crucial to reducing recidivism rates and promoting successful reentry into society.
+|Description=The cycle of incarceration refers to the pattern of individuals being repeatedly incarcerated due to a lack of resources and support upon release. This cycle often begins with poverty and limited access to education and job opportunities, leading to criminal activity and subsequent imprisonment. Upon release, individuals face stigma and difficulty finding employment and housing, which can lead to reoffending and returning to prison. This cycle perpetuates the over-representation of marginalized communities in the criminal justice system and highlights the need for comprehensive reentry programs and support for formerly incarcerated individuals.
