Justice reinvestment is a modern approach to managing corrections resources.
|
Throughout state government, lawmakers are interested in results-based policies. “Justice reinvestment” is a data-driven approach to managing corrections resources and improving public safety. It involves reducing spending on corrections and reinvesting the savings in different strategies that increase public safety and hold offenders accountable. A number of state efforts today are supported by a Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI) of the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) in the Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice, in coordination with the Pew Center on the States. This initiative is helping states manage growth in corrections expenditures, generate savings and increase the effectiveness of current public spending and investments to improve offender accountability and reduce crime.
