Overall, the combined work that we do—the combined effort around both employment and correctional interventions, correctional programs—is what produces the public safety results that we have today.
We know, as was pointed out earlier, that offenders who are involved in CORCAN opportunities and involved in their programs addressing issues such as anger management or substance abuse, if they're tackling all those things in their correctional plan, are more than likely going to be able to return to the community in a law-abiding manner. What we see for individuals who go out into the community, particularly during the period that they are under our supervision, is that the rate of reoffending in a violent manner is less than 2%, which is a very positive number.
We also look at their rates of reoffending and coming back to federal custody at two years and five years after their warrant expiry date. The rate of return for individuals after two years is less than 10%, and after five years it's 18% to 20%. What that tells us is that the work that we're doing with them while they're in our care is good, and it sticks, but the farther they get away from the support that they have, unless they have ongoing support networks including employment, housing, family, prosocial associates, their risk of reoffending seems to go up. But the rates of reoffending and coming back to federal custody are still some of the best rates around the world when I compare them to those of my colleagues in other jurisdictions.
