Individuals who are under 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.
Returns to incarceration due to committing new crimes remained somewhat consistent in FY22, with an average of 23 returns per month. There was a noticeable decline in the number of returns after October 2021, culminating in a low of 12 returns in December 2021, January 2022, and February 2022. However, the number of returns began inclining up after February 2022, and peaked at a high of 34 returns in May 2022 and June 2022. Returns due to committing new crimes constituted 55.4% of all returns to incarceration from community supervision in FY22.
