Justice State Brief: Vermont Reinvestment

Publication year: 2008 | Cataloged on: Feb. 13, 2009
ANNOTATION: The use by Vermont policymakers 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 explained (p. 1). Sections of this report include: highlights; overview; Step 1 -- analyze the prison population and spending in the communities to which people in prison often return; Step 2 -- identify options to generate savings and increase public safety; Step 3 -- quantify savings and reinvest in select high-stakes communities; and Step 4 -- measure the impact and enhance accountability.
