Description

About 600,000 felons will be released from prison this year in the United States and begin some form of official supervision, usually parole. But the nation's system for managing them in the community is inept. Turning this situation around requires paying attention to one simple idea: When it comes to changing behavior, swiftness and certainty of punishment matter more than severity. Under a reformed system, parolees would be closely monitored for compliance with parole conditions, and any detected violation would be met with immediate and predictable consequences. There is now experimental evidence from probation that this idea can be put into practice, with dramatic effects. But organizing interlocking public agencies to be able to deliver swift and certain sanctions may pose a larger challenge than getting offenders to comply once such sanctions are in place.
