Statement on Colorado's Rising Crime Rates Despite Lower Recidivism Numbers
DENVER - ColoradoDesk -- The recent news report highlighting a decline in recidivism while overall crime rates in Colorado continue to rise exposes a deep flaw in our state's approach to justice and rehabilitation. It's clear that the current system is failing the people of Colorado.
As a candidate for Governor, I refuse to ignore this contradiction. We cannot keep releasing individuals from prison without the tools, treatment, and transformation necessary to re-enter society as law-abiding, purpose-driven citizens. Punishment without purpose has never worked — and never will.
My administration will tackle this issue head-on. Under a Colorado First leadership, we will implement comprehensive, evidence-based reentry programs that prioritize mental health treatment, trauma healing, vocational training, and personal transformation before release — not after. The goal is simple: ensure that those who have authored harm are equipped to write new chapters in their lives, contributing positively to our communities instead of cycling back into the system.

Our state must stop mistaking punitive measures for public safety. Real safety is born out of transformation, accountability, and opportunity. Colorado deserves a system that heals rather than merely punishes — and my administration will deliver exactly that.
Colorado First means putting humanity, community, and common sense back into our justice system.
