.@RobinaInstitute spent 2.5 years supporting that review through our partnership with the Commission. I presented on it yesterday at the National Association of Sentencing Commissions conference.
Proud of our research team, and of the MSGC staff we worked alongside throughout.

Minnesota's sentencing guidelines changed on August 1st — the first comprehensive revision since the guidelines took effect in 1980. The amendments substantially change how the criminal history score is calculated and added a new mitigating factor for first-time offenders.

I'm excited to share the findings from our latest report on aligning supervision conditions with risk and needs for individuals released on parole in Iowa. 🔍
OUT TODAY! “Alignment Between Supervision Conditions and Risk and Needs in Iowa Parole” is the most recent installment in our “Understanding How Probation and Parole Conditions Are Set in Three States” series. z.umn.edu/9e79

One explanation is that, thanks to COVID, prison population have gotten smaller and the people that remain are higher risk and have more serious crimes.
What’s happening to parole? Compared to 2019, parole boards are holding way fewer parole hearings now and granting parole at a lower rate. This figure is crazy. @PrisonPolicy: prisonpolicy.org/blog/2023/1…

The U.S. has the highest youth incarceration rate in the world, but it hasn't made us safer. In @StarTribune, @UofMNLawSchool's Perry Moriearty explains how @HennepinAtty @MaryMoriarty's approach to youth justice promotes long-term community well-being.

Recent research from @RobinaInstitute shows that in Iowa, people on parole are banned from using the internet or social media unless it's to look for a job.

I'm thrilled to partner on this with colleagues Gerry Gaes & Bill Rhodes. Our project will examine prison release discretion's impact on incarceration duration & numbers from 1980 to 2020. We're looking forward to contributing to the national discussion on mass incarceration.

The average person on probation or parole must comply with 17 supervision conditions. But are these conditions effective in promoting behavioral change? In this brief, we question some of the basic assumptions around condition setting. @KellyMitchell40 @EbRuhland

Each week, we ask everyone at JIL to set aside time for learning. It can be spent learning about anything – though typically it's something in the criminal justice space. This week, JIL’s @AnalyzeJustice shares a review on a report from @RobinaInstitute:
