Incarceration includes both prisons and jails, although much of the current emphasis on “reentry” in the policy, practitioner, and academic communities focuses on prison reentry. This report, however, takes a broad approach to the challenge of reentry, and defines reentry to include all persons who have served at least some time in incarceration"

Since all criminal or delinquent activity committed by an offender is not known, certain indicators of subsequent criminal and delinquent activity are used to calculate recidivism rates. Some of these indicators include re-arrest, conviction, probation or parole revocation, and recommitment to incarceration"
