Individuals placed on community supervision can return to incarceration for a technical violation, for committing a new crime, or a combination of the two. Anyone who was returned to incarceration for a technical violation as well as for committing a new crime was categorized as returning for committing a new crime, resulting in two categories as a reason for return: technical violation or new crime.

In FY23, returns to incarceration for individuals on community supervision showed a significant increase, with the yearly average climbing to 76 per month from the previous fiscal year's average of 42. This upward trend was immediately evident, beginning with July 2022's count at 88, substantially higher than the average in the preceding year. The numbers fluctuated throughout the year, with a low of 53 in February 2023. Despite these variations, the year witnessed significant peaks, reaching 90 returns in both September 2022 and June 2023. This trend reinforces the significant escalation in returns from FY22 to FY23.

FY23's data reflects a methodological change, shifting from manual data entry and tracking via spreadsheets to utilizing the Offender Management System (OMS) database for data input and extraction. This change may account for noticeable differences in the data compared to the last fiscal year and could greatly influence the numbers presented for FY23.
