Alternative to residential treatment for youth with chronic antisocial behavior and delinquency. North Carolina uses intermediate sentencing options as part of its structured sentencing guidelines and a state-wide system of community corrections. Non-prison sanctions for probation and parole violations can also provide for offender accountability and reserve costly prison space for offenders who may present a public safety concern. What is concept of correction? Drug courts are the oldest and most common type of problem-solving courtsin 2010 there were more than 2,500 such courts operating across all 50 states, according to the National Association of Drug Court Professionals.

The federal Bureau of Justice Assistances Drug Court Clearinghouse tracks and summarizes cost-benefit evaluations of drug court programs dating back to 2000. Simply put, anyone convicted of a crime under a mandatory minimum gets at least that sentence. Assessment tools predict the likelihood that an individual will reoffend based on factors that are related to criminal behavior. Establish policies that consider an offenders risk and criminal history as the basis for sentencing options and program eligibility. Santa Monica, Calif.: The RAND Institute, 1996. Intermediate sanctions, pretrial release options and treatment programs are available to courts through the community-based corrections system, overseen by North Carolinas Sentencing and Policy Advisory Commission. The Texas Legislature has increased funding to community-based treatment options in recent years. As with state efforts, the federal funding supports comprehensive approaches to offender reentry. More than half of all inmates released in 2009 left prison without any kind of supervision or access to services. Illinois, Oregon and Washington are among the first states to legislatively take broad, systemic approaches to evidence-based corrections. Human services and criminal justice agencies collaborate to create and implement individual plans that include treatment and intensive supervision. Community-based programs were below the 75 percent mark because several new programs had not yet been thoroughly researched as required to determine if they qualify as being evidence-based. The NCSL Sentencing and Corrections Work Group was staffed and this report was prepared by Alison Lawrence, policy specialist, and Donna Lyons, group director, for the Criminal Justice Program in NCSLs Denver, Colorado office.

During that time, Pew reported, 88 percent of new corrections dollars were allocated to prisons and only 12 percent went to community corrections supervision. For inmates who are not eligible for the six-month releasethose who are convicted of the most serious crimes, are not statutorily eligible for parole, or are serving their term in a maximum security facilityan additional year of community supervision is now required after the maximum sentence has expired. In Kansas, a Risk Reduction Initiative adopted by the Legislature in 2007 was designed to increase offender success by reducing the number of revocations to state prison by at least 20 percent. A more severe (i.e., lengthy) prison sentence for convicted individuals who are naturally aging out of crime does achieve the goal of punishment and incapacitation. Decreased prison sentences and shorter lengths of stay. Residential and community treatment can address substance abuse and mental health needs commonly related to criminal behavior (see also Treating Drug Offenders). The issues addressed by the NCSL work group reflect the important role of state legislatures in enacting policies that manage prison populations and costs, address offender and community needs, and contribute to the safe and fair administration of criminal justice. Research on criminal gangs shows that gang members and other delinquents share the same risk factors. In Minnesota, certain first-time, low-level drug possession and sale offenders are placed on probation in a pre-conviction program that focuses on alcohol and drug abuse education. Research in a growing number of states shows drug diversion meets these objectives. State policies provide for administrative supervision, which consists of minimal reporting and monitoring requirements so long as restitution is being paid and the offender remains crime- and drug-free. Lack of suitable housing and care in the community limits medical release, according to a 2008 report to the Virginia General Assembly. Minimal reporting requirements; monitoring to ensure court-ordered payments are being made and no new criminal activity occurs. Other policies move offenders who comply with their supervision conditions to less active supervision or provide an opportunity for early termination of the community supervision term. Colorado, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island and South Carolina eliminated mandatory minimum sentences or permitted discretion for low-level, nonviolent drug crimes. These courts, which vary in size, target population and structure, are designed to address the special needs of the target population. Meanwhile, a growing body of research questions the use of incarceration as an appropriate and cost-effective means of dealing with low-level drug offenders, particularly those who possess rather than traffick in drugs. At least 14 states modified mandatory minimum sentences for certain drug offenders during the 2000s. In some states, state-local partnerships provide incentive funding to localities that successfully supervise of- fenders in the community instead of sending them to state prison for probation and parole violations.

The other four goals of punishment fall under prevention, which punishes wrongdoers in order to prevent future crimes.Deterrence. The next goal of prevention is deterrence. As a result of sending these offenders to treatment instead of prison, the Kansas Sentencing Commission says the state realized net savings more than $8 million between 2004 and 2010. Colorados 2007 law included a provision requiring the Division of Criminal Justice to consult with state economists and make threshold recommendations to the General Assembly every five years to ensure that regular review and revision occur. Correctional agencies also use electronic monitoring as an alternative sanction to jail or prison for violations of supervision conditions or to monitor offenders who are making the transition into the community after prison. An academic study conducted for the commission projected savings of $7,800 per year for each offender who is supervised in drug court instead of being sent to prison. WebThe correctional goal emphasizing the infliction of pain or suffering. Kansas Department of Corrections. Lawmakers in Kentucky also have facilitated court involvement to reduce recidivism. Other forms of conditional release include furloughs, such as those statutorily authorized in Vermont. Starting with the 2012 biennium, savings attributed to having fewer inmates in state prison will be reallocated to expanding evidence-based treatment programs. Creating more intensive supervision for lower-risk offenders usually does not help meet corrections goals, affect cost control, or reduce reoffending. This includes three strikes and youre out policies adopted by 25 states between 1993 and 1995. Punishment is the correctional goal emphasizing the infliction of pain or suffering. Medical parole moves certain inmates who have an incapacitating or terminal medical condition to a residential care facility or other setting suited to treatment of medical needs. Austin, Texas: TDCJ, March 2010.

Many states allow courts and agencies to tailor supervision based on an offenders risk of reoffending and treatment needs (see also Using Data and Evidence). Approaches that build in protective factors help buffer or minimize the likelihood and degree to which risk factors prompt delinquent behavior. A task force and strategic plan also must be in place to oversee, implement and track the success of reentry efforts. Missouris first drug court was established in 1993; today that state has the most drug courts per capita of any state in the nation. Wasserman, Gail A., et al. 74 Del. The Illinois Crime Reduction Act of 2009 similarly established graduated implementation of evidence-based polices to ensure that state and local agencies direct their resources to services and programming that have been demonstrated to be effective in reducing recidivism and reintegrating offenders. In addition to complying with evidence-based principles, program supervision practices must include evidence-based risk assessments as part of preparing offender supervision plans.

A 2006 study of cost-effectiveness of prison and community-based treatment for drug offenders. Some states are finding ways to use data and evidence to invest in successful, effective supervision strategies; they use savings gained to reinvest in identified policies that further manage costs and achieve better result for both offenders and corrections systems. Based on these findings, the 2007 Legislature expanded a set of evidence-based programs, and the prison forecast was adjusted downward. The law requires the Legislative Assembly to consider compliance with evidence-based programming when making agency appropriations. Many state efforts are supported by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, in the U.S. Department of Justices Office of Justice Programs, and the Public Safety Performance Project of the Pew Center on the States. : Report prepared for the Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing, April 2010. Savings are projected to reach nearly $10 million for FY 2013 and $12 million in FY 2014. Two measures directed savings from decreased prison costs to specific offender treatment and services, shown in Table 2. Mandatory minimum sentences apply in many states to violent and sex offenses; repeat and habitual offenders; offenses committed while possessing or using deadly weapons; certain drug crimes; and crimes involving a child or other vulnerable victim. The state established a special fund to support supervision and treatment costs, and offenders make court- ordered payments if it is determined they can do so. U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance. Community corrections resources can be maximized with other risk- and resource-sensitive policies that focus the most supervision and services on offenders who need to be watched most closely and who have significant needs that can be addressed in the community. The enabling legislation reduced penalties for pos- session of illegal drugs and authorized community supervision in lieu of incarceration for some offenders. Ensure that victims rights are enforceable, and that services for victims are reviewed and refined in line with current policies, technologies and needs. Kentucky created an administrative caseload supervision program in 2011 for low-risk offenders who are identified via risk assessment. Risk factors generally fall into four areas: individual factors, family factors, peer factors, and school and com- munity factors. In this report, NCSL will review the evolving processes states use to certify law enforcement officers and explore state policies that address decertification. The Public Safety Performance Project of the Pew Center on the States reported that approximately $9 of every $10 spent by states on corrections in FY 2008 was devoted to state prisons, even though nearly 70 percent of offenders are supervised in the community. Many state legislatures are addressing the drug-crime connection with policies that divert appropriate drug offenders to treatment. Americas Problem- Solving Courts: The Criminal Costs of Treatment and the Case for Reform.

Penn: University of Pennsylvania, April 2008. Responding to unsustainable growth in its prison population, Kentucky lawmakers in 2011 enacted a Public Safety and Offender Accountability Act, which established that the primary objective of sentencing is maintaining public safety and holding offenders accountable while reducing recidivism and criminal behavior. The act also established measures and reporting requirements with regard to crime reduction and cost effectiveness. States have developed community-based sentencing options that are less costly than incarceration. It provides annual reports to the General Assembly about state expenditures avoided by reductions in new felony conviction and return-to-custody revocations, and recommendations on how to reallocate up to 35 percent of the savings. Child Delinquency Bulletin Series. Research Bulletin: Pennsylvanias State Intermediate Punishment Program: Does Program Completion Reduce Recidivism?.

WebThis report by the National Council of State Legislators examines trends in State sentencing and corrections legislation. Federal efforts under the Second Chance Act passed by Congress in 2008 include grants to states, local governments and nonprofit groups for innovative reentry-related programs aimed at reducing recidivism. These elements, together with evidence-based dispositions and performance-based expectations of both the offender and supervision and services agencies, not only lead to better results for offenders but also help prioritize and manage corrections resources.
