1 CSG JUSTICE CENTER MASSACHUSETTS CRIMINAL JUSTICE REVIEW RESEARCH ADDENDUM - Working Group Meeting 3 Interim Report July 12, 2016 The Council of State Governments Justice Center Interim report prepared by: Katie Mosehauer, Project Manager; Steve Allen, Senior Policy Advisor, Behavioral Health; Monica Peters, Research Manager; Cassondra Warney, Policy Analyst

2 OVERVIEW ADDITIONAL RESEARCH: JAIL and DOC DETAINEE RELEASE DECISION MAKING ADDITIONAL RESEARCH: HOC POPULATION ADDITIONAL RESEARCH: DOC POPULATION ADDITIONAL RESEARCH: DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF INCARCERATED POPULATIONS ADDITIONAL RESEARCH: CWOF FOLLOW-UP ANALYSIS

3 JAIL and DOC DETAINEE RELEASE DECISION MAKING Research Addendum Slides Data used in this analysis was provided upon request by Hampden, Middlesex, and Essex counties. These counties were selected for a sample of jail data due to the size of their populations as well as their geographic representation. General information on demographics and governing offense types was included as well as admission and release dates, type of admission, status at release, and bail information. DOC also provided information on pretrial detainees including admission and release dates.

4 Jail data acquired for this analysis is a sample of the total jail population * 60% POPULATION IN COUNTY JAIL OR DOC DETAINEE UNITS Jan 1, 2015 N=5,454 10% DOC Females admitted as a DOC detainee are transferred from counties that do not have a designated capacity for females. Hampden County operates a regional facility that serves females in Hampden County and surrounding areas, mostly Hampshire and Worcester County. Department of Correction Weekly Count Sheets, Jan 1, 2015; CSG Justice Center analysis of FY2014 Middlesex, Essex and Hampden county jail data and DOC data. Middlesex, Essex, and Hampden Counties 30% DOC DETAINEE POPULATION DATA RECEIVED COUNTY JAIL POPULATION DATA RECEIVED COUNTY JAIL POPULATION DATA NOT ANALYZED The Justice Center requested and received three county data sets and DOC detainee data, representing approximately 40% of the detainee population statewide. Middlesex, Essex, and Hampden Counties were included in the sample due to the size of their populations, geographic representation, and the scope of data these counties collect electronically at their jails. ADMISSIONS TO COUNTY JAIL OR DOC DETAINEE UNITS FY2014 N=18,171 4,968 Middlesex County Jail 4,041 4,050 Essex County Jail 697 3,353 Hampden County Jail 5,112 3,528 1,584 DOC Detainee MALE FEMALE *Over 90% of males admitted as a DOC detainee are 52As people charged with a new offense who have previously served a state prison sentence.

Over 90% of males admitted as a DOC detainee are 52As people charged with a new offense who have previously served a state prison sentence. Females admitted as a DOC detainee are transferred from counties that do not have a designated capacity for females. Hampden County expanded capacity in FY2015 by opening a regional facility accepting females from surrounding jurisdictions, the majority from Hampshire and Worcester counties.

9 HOC POPULATION Research Addendum Slides Statewide HOC data included in this analysis was obtained from the Parole Board s SPIRIT database and includes information on commitments and commitment closures statewide. This data was combined with parole supervision data, also obtained from the Parole Board, to create a release date as well as a return date for parole violators. Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) data was incorporated in order to categorize the governing offense type as well as identify commitments based on noncriminal behavior. The SPIRIT data should be considered a proxy for HOC populations. The data captured in SPIRIT is not entered or maintained by sheriffs offices. The database primarily functions through the lens of parole and parole eligibility, not as a case management system for HOC facilities. Additional county-level HOC data in this analysis was provided upon request from Middlesex, Essex, and Hampden counties.

10 Statewide, HOCs had approximately three times the number of admissions as DOC each year ADMISSIONS TO HOC AND DOC* FY2011 FY ,914 ADMISSIONS FOR STATE PRISON SENTENCES 11,368 ADMISSIONS FOR COUNTY SENTENCES 10,369 10,304 9,870 Admissions mirror the differences in volume of court activity between district and superior court ,858 3,403 2,999 3,220 2, FACILITY 0 HOC DOC HOC DOC HOC DOC HOC DOC HOC DOC FY2011 FY2012 FY2013 FY2014 FY2015 *Admissions to both DOC and HOC include new court commitments, parole and probation revocations CSG Justice Center analysis of FY Parole Board s SPIRIT HOC data and DOC data.

This could be resulting in more sentences deemed time served and thus fewer short sentences admitted to HOC. CSG Justice Center analysis of FY2014 Middlesex, Essex and Hampden county HOC data.

17 DOC POPULATION Research Addendum Slides Data for this analysis was extracted by DOC research staff to include sentence and offense information, admission and release types, length of stay, and supervision status for criminally sentenced admissions, releases, and snapshot populations. Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) was also used for a reconviction analysis. CORI data was obtained from EOPSS using a batch file-matching process using individuals unique state identifier PCF number.

24 DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF INCARCERATED POPULATIONS Research Addendum Slides Data for this analysis includes demographic information on sentenced populations at DOC and HOC, jail populations at two sample counties, as well as a resident population comparison group. DOC data was obtained from DOC research staff while the HOC data was obtained from the parole board s SPIRIT data. Jail data was provided upon request by Middlesex and Hampden counties. Essex County also provided jail data, but demographic information could not be analyzed in a comparable way. Resident population was obtained from the U.S. Census American Community Survey for 2014.

36 ADDITIONAL CWOF ANALYSIS Research Addendum Slides Data for this analysis was provided upon request by the Massachusetts Trial Court and include all CWOF dispositions in FY2014 and probation sentences in FY2013. The recidivism analysis was conducted using data from EOPSS (CORI data for arraignment and conviction), the parole board (SPIRIT data for HOC incarceration), and the DOC (state prison incarceration). CORI data was obtained from EOPSS using a batch filematching process using individuals unique state identifier PCF number. In addition to a re-arraignment and reconviction analysis, CORI data was used to identify the final disposition of CWOF cases and whether violations occurred during the CWOF period.

37 The majority of CWOF dispositions end in dismissal Additional findings: Sentencing analysis in April presented information on 31,943 CWOF dispositions in FY2014. Over three-quarters of CWOF dispositions in FY2014 ended as a dismissal, 4% ended in a commitment, and nearly a quarter are ongoing as of May % of CWOF dispositions had a violation notice or finding. 31% of CWOF dispositions had a default warrant for a failure to appear. 4% 77% 59% 41% 69% 31% 23% CSG Justice Center analysis of 2014 CWOF and CORI data.
