ABSTRACT

In one of its latest accounts to the State, the Little Hoover Commission (2007) reported:

e Commission’s 2007 report provides many recommendations, one of which is to implement earlier recommendations. One notable recommendation, however, is to reinvent parole. e nearly 70% recidivism rate is making a signi…cant contribution to overcrowding, and many on return are recidivating due to parole violations, not for committing new crimes.
