Some of the more troubling numbers though are the percent of recidivism by people released from High security prisons (45%) and Medium security prisons (34%).
What were their crimes?
How many people are you noting?

3713 re-offenders out of 29,944 inmates that have been released.
The rates for those released from Medium to High security prisons is much higher 36% and 45% respectively), but the pool of eligible inmates is also smaller at each level
(3611 at Medium, and 644 at High security prisons).
On another note, the length of time in jail seems to be a determining factor in the recidivism rate. It looks somewhat bell curved, with the newer / older inmates being more successful in the program.
Given that the recidivism rate for most prisoners ix over 80% (82 in a recent study), the First Step program seems to be successful at this point.

13% of those released have been arrested since their release. That's a "single factor" we can respond to.
Can’t respond with much accuracy without comparing it to the rate before the act. If it’s the same, the act did no harm, right?

Here’s a report from a few months ago: LINK
That last sentence seems fricky. Why compare a federal population to a state population? Did a pre and post comparison of the Fed population not show the outcomes they were hoping for?
quote:
Among the nearly 30,000 individuals whose release has been expedited by the First Step Act, nearly nine in every 10 have not been rearrested or reincarcerated. This 12% recidivism rate lies in stark contrast to the more typical 45% recidivism rate among people released from federal prison.
quote:
The majority (58%) of people released because of the First Step Act were serving time for a drug trafficking offense. Within this group, 13% have been rearrested or reincarcerated since their release. Comparatively, 57% of people released from state custody for a drug trafficking conviction recidivated within three years.

So people go to prison and never get released?
That's the only way to stop recidivism. That or execute everyone convicted of a crime.
