Publication year:
2007
| Cataloged on:
Nov. 20, 2007
ANNOTATION: Kansas' use of "a data-driven strategy called justice reinvestment to better manage corrections spending, increase public safety, and redirect some of the savings toward efforts that will improve conditions in the neighborhoods to which most people released from prison return" is recounted (p. 1). This brief is comprised of these sections: highlights; analyze the prison population and spending in the communities to which people in prison often return; identify options to generate savings and increase public safety; quantify savings and select high-stakes communities; and measure the impact and enhance accountability. Justice reinvestment practices in Kansas will save $80 million over five years.
