COLUMBIA, S.C. Prison officials say South Carolina now has the lowest rate of released inmates returning to prison within three years in the country, thanks to an in-depth and expanding program of job and life skills.
The Department of Corrections says less than 22% of South Carolina inmates released in 2017 found themselves back in prison within three years. State prisons Director Bryan Stirling says that rate was 33% just before he took over the prison system in 2013.
