First, I enjoyed reading the blog titled: “Social Science History: Survival of the “fittest.” I thought the person gave a great summary of the article and related it to class well.   For this week, as I mentioned this in my annotation, this article presents some very positive things, while also leaving the reader wanting more.  First,  it is obviously great that fewer people are heading back to prison after going to prison.  However, the conclusions we can draw from that are slightly limited because the study only examined 23 states.  Since this study followed those same states from 2005, I think we can only conclude that fewer people are going back to prison in those states.   Lastly, I think understanding why fewer people are going back to prison is important.  Meaning, understanding what states are doing right is very important in this context so they can better allocate resources.
