ICYMI: New research from @urbaninstitute & Pima County, AZ found that those sent back to jail from a probation revocation stay almost 3x longer than avg. Thru @safety_justice, we're uncovering strategies, like transitional housing, that can prevent this. https://t.co/5gxKg1iNIT

People jailed for probation violations stay on average nearly 3x as long as the pretrial & 5x as long as the sentenced population. Read our new case study on using transitional housing & other strategies to reduce jail incarceration in @pimacountyaz https://t.co/5lmaX2yduX

Studying jail trends in Pima, AZ, our partners at @urbaninstitute found the avg length of stay for people on probation-related bookings was 3x that of the pretrial pop & 5x that of the sentenced pop. Explore these & other findings: https://t.co/ieLX3MGkXa #RethinkJails

Important to note that formal revocations are not the only pathway to jail among people on probation. People can also be held in jail as an intermediate sanction (i.e., a short jail stay without a formal petition), or as they await a violation hearing (e.g., for absconding).

Our new @urbaninstitute case study explores trends in jail incarceration for people with probation violations in Pima County, AZ. More from me, @paharibakra & @ari_jack21 here. https://t.co/bjz26LnbPV

Only 4% of PTRs resulted in a formal revocation to jail, suggesting that reliance on jails as a PTR outcome is low. However, Native American and Hispanic people were disproportionately represented in jail outcomes.

New article out now in Criminal Justice Policy Review. We (myself, @bryceepeterson, @Lily_a_Robin, & @RochishaS) examine the impact of updated correctional CCTV cameras on the number of infractions and the outcomes of investigations.

From @paharibakra: 4 questions states can consider for using the #JRInitiative process to address racial & ethnic disparities in criminal legal systems.

#4: How can states track data on the process’s effects on disparities? https://t.co/9bdzcctfHa
