UPDATE: Inmate release up for review
Monday's orders, explained
Lyle Denniston
UPDATE and NOTE TO READERS 4:26 p.m. The following post has been revised to add clarity to a version that appeared earlier today. The jurisdictional question that the Court has before it has to do with the Court’s own jurisdiction to decide this case. That is separate from the question of whether the three-judge District Court had the authority to issue the prisoner release order that it did, in final form, in January. The blog apologizes for any misunderstanding arising from the earlier post. |

How to safely reduce prison populations and support people returning to their communities
Justice Policy Institute
The current economic situation is causing many states to face difficult budget choices. Policymakers across the country are realizing that the expense of incarcerating so many people—states spent $52 billion on corrections in FY2008—is reducing resources available for investments in social structures, like education and healthcare. As a result, many states are developing new and innovative ways to trim their prison populations, reduce the likelihood that a released person will commit a new offense and lower revocation rates so fewer people return to prison once released. |
