Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative
Definition
- The Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative (SVORI) was developed and implemented by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP) in 2003, along with federal agency partners, in response to high rates of offender recidivism upon prison release resulting in subsequent incarceration. Data from examinations of rates of offender recidivism upon release from jail or prison indicate that roughly 66 percent of those released commit offenses that cause them to return to correctional facilities within three years.
