Overview of January 2013 Adult Correctional Population Projections 6 Legislat ive Budget Board Oct ober 4, 2013

Adult Projections: Methodology 7 • Projections are based on current statutes, laws, policies, and practices. Major shifts in current statutes, laws, policies, or practices will affect LBB projections. • The LBB simulation model integrates outcomes and tracks offender movement into, through, and out of various segments of the adult criminal and juvenile justice systems. • In addition to quantitative data gathered from state agencies, the LBB gathers data through qualitative field work. The qualitative data collected help provide context to quantitative data and inform projection assumptions. Legislat ive Budget Board Oct ober 4, 2013

January 2013 Adult Projections Qualitative Review: Methodology 14 • Interviews and focus groups with criminal justice practitioners and decision-makers: Community Judges Prosecutors Public Defenders Supervision Staff State Criminal State Jail County Jail Defense Attorneys Justice Agency Offenders Offenders Administrators • Data collection took place during site visits and statewide conferences Legislat ive Budget Board Oct ober 4, 2013

January 2013 Adult Projections Qualitative Review: Major Findings 15 • Criminal justice populations are largely stable due to the level and balance of available treatment options • Statewide misdemeanor community supervision placements are declining because many offenders prefer short county jail sentences over community supervision • State jail and community supervision time credits enacted in 2011 have had little overall impact on criminal justice populations thus far Legislat ive Budget Board Oct ober 4, 2013

January 2013 Adult Projections Qualitative Review: Recommendations from the Field 16 • Maintain current treatment options available for offenders in various components of the criminal justice system • Provide support for the recruitment and retention of qualified criminal justice staff Legislat ive Budget Board Oct ober 4, 2013
