Question:
You are the court administrator for a medium-size county. The judges are very concerned about public safety, but believe they have been sending too many people to prison and that is driving up the cost of state corrections. As a result, the state funding of local community corrections has dried up. What would be an argument for changing sentencing to enhance the community corrections component, keep more nonviolent offenders in the community, and how could it be sold to the legislature? How would the county's community corrections (jail, halfway houses, alternatives to incarceration) be made up? What data could support these changes?
