Fox News: The terrorist next door: States consider sex-offender-style registries for released terror inmates
“Since 9/11, the federal government prosecuted about 400 jihadists. At least 61 individuals with terrorism-related convictions will be released from prison between 2018 and 2024, according to a December report, 'When Terrorists Come Home: The Need for Rehabilitating and Reintegrating America’s Convicted Jihadists,' sponsored by the Counter Extremism Project, an international policy organization formed to combat extremist ideologies. The report cited U.S. Sentencing Commission numbers showing the recidivism rate for federal prisoners is 44.7 percent after five years, while the rate for state prisoners is 76.6 percent. In 2010, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence estimated about 20 percent of former Guantanamo Bay detainees returned to the battlefield.
