The Justice Reinvestment Initiative Improves Community Supervision
Community supervision agencies oversee the vast majority of people under correctional control. When done well, community supervision can increase public safety by holding people accountable for their criminal behavior and facilitating positive behavior change to reduce people’s likelihood of reoffending.
