Our partnership with Recidiviz enables us to leverage our data for actionable insights that make us better stewards of the state’s resources.

More quickly and more definitively we’ll be able to answer the questions: are we helping residents and clients live more purpose-driven lives? Are we helping residents reenter communities with the knowledge, skills, health and stability necessary to stay out of the justice system?

Our institutional population is at its lowest levels since 2001. Recidiviz supports our team members to continue their incredible work and highlights opportunities to advance our department's overall objectives.

Recidiviz has enabled us to shift our focus to metrics that shine a light on positive outcomes, with real-time reports that highlight how we can maximize reentry success.

Recidiviz’s data-driven approach helps us ensure our attention goes towards the decisions that matter most for improving outcomes and promoting public safety.

With this new technology, we can improve public safety, better the lives of incarcerated people and their families, and enhance economic outcomes in Michigan.

We’re dedicated to facilitating the treatment, education, and job training programs that equip justice-involved Missourians with the skills they need. Approximately 96% of people who enter Missouri’s prisons will return to Missouri cities and towns.

We are committed to setting a new trend in corrections, one that ensures residents and clients have every opportunity to meaningfully engage their rehabilitation. We do this by treating people with respect, by creating an atmosphere for growth within the facilities, and by choosing partners that align with our values. Recidiviz is such a partner. With this platform, we’ll be able to monitor and measure the success of our efforts to this new model of corrections.

Working with Recidiviz has opened my eyes to a world of possibilities for fixing this system that has taken so much from so many people. They ask for my opinions about real tools that are helping other people in my community who’ve been through something like I’ve been through.  It makes me feel like I endured all of it for something: to make things just a little better for others.

It is important to include the voices of those directly impacted by incarceration, unfortunately, it's not something that is commonly practiced, but one of the most important components to create a supervision experience that is more conducive towards an overall successful reentry and life beyond.

Being a part of Recidiviz’s user experience research process has shown me that Recidiviz actually cares about giving a voice to the voiceless. Voice is power. In doing this, they are empowering our communities to be active participants in this collective healing.

Every time Recidiviz is thinking of launching a new product that affects people on supervision, I’m asked to share my opinions about it. They walk me through the tools they are building and how they think supervision officers might use them and I get to share my own stories and experiences to inform the design decisions.

The Recidiviz team is wonderful at really listening to what we have to say and turning that into a tangible tool to benefit our everyday work goals.

Recidiviz tools are helping me to get ahead of the game so that I can spend more time working with people who need employment or have substance use needs.

Recidiviz’s collaboration and insight has pushed our agency light-years into using data to drive decision making!

Recidiviz tools can really help us have an impact. If we know this far down in the weeds what’s causing poor outcomes, fixing it is the easy part. With this data, we can make strides at improving outcomes at the root of the issues.

This tool has come so far since we first started working together earlier this year. Soliciting our input and then putting it in action and making it something that we enjoy to use has been fantastic.

Recidiviz tools give me a “to do list” and I don’t have to spend my time creating a list. This has made things more convenient.

“Where I really get excited regarding the dashboard, is these numbers really represent people. The data tells a story, but the numbers represent fathers, sons, mothers, daughters... all these people who deserve the right to succeed. It becomes a powerful tool to change systems, when that becomes clear to people."

“Recidiviz’s innovative partnership opportunities have led our team to rethink the way we do advocacy. For example, their work on an Oklahoma sentencing reclassification bill helped accelerate its progress. Their policy modeling is considered by many to be the inflection point that made these reforms a reality.”

“We’ve seen healthcare switch to being patient-centered. Imagine if supervision was client-centered. Think of how many people would become success stories, rather than getting churned back into the system. User Experience Research at Recidiviz has allowed us to take the next steps in co-authoring a client-centered supervision experience.”
