Justice Reinvestment in Maine: Improving Supervision and Data Collection

Policy Framework

Justice Reinvestment in Maine: Improving Supervision and Data Collection

This policy framework outlines recommendations developed as a part of a Justice Reinvestment effort in Maine in 2020 in collaboration with Maine's Commission to Improve the Sentencing, Supervision, Management and Incarceration of Prisoners. The recommendations were reflected in draft legislation in 2020. The aim of these policies was to improve access to and availability of quality behavioral health resources; improve success on probation; and improve data collection, monitoring, and information sharing to better understand trends and racial, ethnic, gender, and geographic disproportionalities in the criminal justice system.
