For decades, most states have made a practice of giving citizens returning from prison or jail a small amount of money, called "gate money," to cover the cost of transportation and other immediate needs. Many legislatures have considered increasing the dollar amount of their cash assistance and offering this kind of support more widely. The Returning Citizens Stimulus (RCS) program was a pilot program for this larger-scale reentry cash support and aimed to help people quickly reach stability in their lives outside of prison and reduce recidivism as a result. It represents the largest-scale conditional cash transfer reentry program to date and an evolution of the burgeoning interest among practitioners and policymakers in cash assistance as reentry support. This brief presents findings from a two-part evaluation of the RCS program--a recidivism impact study; it is the first-ever study known to the author to estimate the effect of a large-scale program of this kind on recidivism outcomes. Because incarcerating people is expensive, knowing a program's impact on recidivism can help practitioners and policymakers weigh the costs and benefits of the program. Results from the analysis suggest that the RCS program was effective at reducing parole violations among participants in the first year after their release from prison. Results also suggest a program effect on parole violations at 18 months after release and on reincarcerations at 18 months and beyond, though these estimates are less certain.
