One in 31: The Long Reach of American Corrections

Publication year: 2009 | Cataloged on: Mar. 19, 2009
Thumbnail preview ANNOTATION: The ability of states to both balance the budget and improve public safety by strengthening community corrections is explained. Sections following an executive summary include: the surging correctional population in the U.S.; prisons -- 32% of the growth, 88% of the cost; more prisons spending brings lower public safety returns; community corrections -- a strategy for safety and savings; and a rare moment in time for reform.
