4 Nationally 25% of the world s prisoners ar in U.S. Prisons State corrections spending fiscal 2012: $52.4 billion Spending exceeded 7.0 % of overall general fund expenditures annually since fiscal The trend "suggests that criminal justice reforms have yet to reverse the persistent growth in public safety spending, and that many states still have a potential for greater savings from policy reforms." 70,000 OFFENDERS UNDER SUPERVISION 4 2

9 The March Toward Massive Over Incarceration TRUTH IN SENTENCING AND TOUCH ON CRIME A. MANDATORY MINIMUM SENTENCINGS B. HIGHER STATUTORY SENTENCE LIMITS C. PROBATION AND PAROLE RESTRICTIONS D. GOOD TIME RESTRICTIONS E. MULTIPLE OFFENDERSTATUTES F. RECALCULATION OF SENTENCING GUIDELINES LOUISIANA S SEAT IN THE BUS Increased statutory sentence lengths Mandatory Minimum Sentence Limits Probation and Parole Restrictions Good Time Restrictions Multiple Offender Statutes 7
10 Louisiana s Seat in the Bus II 85% Rule No Sentencing Guidelines No Sentencing Guidance Culture of High Sentences Do 100% of the Sentence Little or No Programming in Most Local Facilities The Local Implications of Failed Sentencing and Over-incarceration 95% of those incarcerated will be released and return to the community Todd Clear suggests that high rates of incarceration can destabilize communities in ways that make them vulnerable to crime. This argument draws upon social disorganization theory, which has long held that in areas where residents are highly hl outwardly mobile, crime will flourish because those locations will lack the stable infrastructure that is required as a foundation of informal social control. Todd Clear, The Problem with Addition by Subtraction: The Prison-Crime Relationship in Low-Income Communities in Invisible Punishment 182 (Marc Mauer & Meda Chesney-Lind eds., 2002). 8
11 Local Implications II Punishment alone is not very effective, particularly in the manner it is used in the criminal justice system. Cognitive behavioral and skills based interventions that include role play and practice sessions are the most effective at reducing recidivism and criminal conduct. Community based interventions and solutions are twice as effective as those offered during incarceration Local communities cannot shift responsibility for dealing with criminal conduct to the state or federal level, since the offender will one day return to the community. Local Implications III Our communities are caught in a vicious cycle of poor educational achievement, poverty, crime, and drugs. This doesn t excuse the crimes or their very real costs. Incarceration in some neighborhoods has reached the point of destabilization The cost to our communities will continue to rise both in dollar and in human costs unless ALL of us take an active interest in finding real solutions rather than exiling those that offend us. 9

14 Background The Sentencing Commission is a public governor and legislature appointed body whose purpose is to study Louisiana sentencing and incarceration practices in order to propose legislative and administrative steps to reduce incarceration rates while also decreasing recidivism. The Commission also educates judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and probation and parole officers about Louisiana substantive and procedural law and criminal best practices. The Commission s work is currently conducted through four workgroups: Front End, Release Mechanisms, Reentry, and Information and technology. 12
15 CURRENT WORK (part 1) Theft Statutes Re Write Comparative analysis of Drug Statutes Expansion of Drug and other Specialty Courts Comparative analysis of non drug statutes which carry mandatory minimums and benefits restrictions DWI Statute rewrite Bail statutes reform Pre trial Release program Risk/Needs assessment at sentencing Home incarceration analysis Geriatric and medical parole CURRENT WORK (part 2) Comparative analysis of multi offender statutes Cleansing period toward parole eligibility Third offender parole Comparative analysis of crimes of violence Transitional work programs Enhanced substance abuse treatment options Expanded education and vocation opportunities in prison Expanding reentry programming Expungement Continuing analysis of Uniform Commitment Order Project accurate rap sheet 13
16 PAST WORK Notable 2011 reforms Enhanced Pardon and Parole Process to aid in effective decision making Created Home Incarceration Reporting Requirements Revised and consolidated the provisions concerning good time Created Administrative Sanctions Process: Parole Eligibility for First time Felony Offenders 14
17 Notable 2012 reforms Increased prosecutorial discretion in regard to mandatory minimums Merged the pardon and parole boards and eliminated the risk review panels Expanded re entry courts to the 19th JDC and the 22nd JDC Reduced time an offender must serve until they are parole eligible Good Time calculation revision 15

20 Louisiana s State Offender Incarceration & Community Supervision Costs Snapshot Average cost of incarceration per day is $37.30 State Institutions (about 18,800 offenders): $53.80 per day Approximately $370 million dollars annually Local jails (about 21,000 offenders): $24.39 per day Approximately $187 million dollars annually Probation & Parole (about 70,000 offenders) $2.37 per day Approximately $60 million dollars annually The Costs: Why do they matter? The fiscal year 2012/2013 was allocated $45,313, for health care. The average cost per offender at the two LOC 1 facilities (EHCC and LSP) is approximately $24,000/year. The cost for elderly offenders is at least 3 times higher (approx. $72,000/year) While incarcerated, Medicaid and Medicare may not be used to leverage these funds unless the patient is admitted to a hospital, so all of it is State General Fund dollars. 18
21 Cost of Recidivism About 16,000 offenders incarcerated annually Half of these are probation/parole revocations Nearly half of all revocations are for technical violations and not new arrests (about 4,000 annually) Offenders who complete probation/parole have a 14% recidivism rate Average length of incarceration following revocation is 18 months (SAS, 2010) This equates to over $13,000 per offender (local jail housing at $24.39/day) These revocations cost the state over $48,000, in incarceration costs alone (18 month period) A TOTAL OF 110,015 The cost to you, the tax payer, by type Parole 3,074 $2.37/day GTPS 23,669 $2.37/day Probation 42,872 $2.37/day State 18,271 $53.29/day Local 18,423 $24.39/day TWP 3,874 $14.82/day 38 19
22 The Driving Factors of Incarceration in Louisiana Louisiana s crime rate has shown a slight improvement from 2008 to 2011 in 4 of 9 categories, but we still rank in the top 10 in 5 categories and continue to be ranked #1 in murder. Prison costs have tripled in the past 20 years ($700 million). State budget is declining at record rates. WHERE ARE WE: THE LONG SLOW ROAD Reduced Services No Branch of Government Leading the Charge Difficult Political and Cultural Climate Strong Pushback From Spokes of the Criminal Justice Wheel: Judges, Prosecutors, Sheriffs Hard Work, No Money 20
