Description

THE UNITED STATES HAS BOTH the highest incarceration rate and the highest prison population in the world; (1) while comprised of only 5% of the world's total population, it holds 25% of the world's imprisoned population. (2) Currently, more than two million people in this country are incarcerated, and the number of people on probation or parole totals more than five million. (3) Federal surveys show that approximately 75% of offenders under local, state and/or federal supervision are involved with alcohol or drugs (4) and that over 50% of them were "under the influence" at the time of their most recent offense. (5) Additionally, the estimated number of adult arrests for drug abuse violations has been increasing since 1970, with more than 1.6 million arrests made in 2006. (6) The dramatic rise in the U.S. rate of incarceration over the past two decades from about 150 per 100,000 population where it had been for half a century to the current figure of about 700 per 100,000 is associated with a dramatic--and continuing--drop in the rate of serious crime. (7) However, the crime reduction produced by incarceration comes at great cost. In the current tight budgeted environment, prison costs--both financial and human--are a major target for reduction. The goal for the future of the criminal justice system is to find cost-effective ways to extend the decline in crime while cutting the rate of incarceration. Achieving that goal will require a smarter criminal justice system.
