Corrections Sentencing - Performance Reviews

Here's an article posted by Michael Connelly that discusses changes in how Oklahoma reviews recidivism. It is my position that this plan should be implemented in all areas of criminal justice. Probation, parole and community corrections. They are in the business of accountability, and generally aren't held accountable.

Interesting idea being floated by that conservative House Speaker in OK I mentioned a week or so ago. He has a bill out right now to start a "Transformational Justice Interagency Task Force with its own revolving fund. What would the fund be used for? Bonuses for corrections officials who can demonstrate improvement in reducing the recidivism rates of inmates in their custody. The bill also requires the state DOC to come up with rules and policies to ensure that recidivism rates are included in performance reviews, promotions, and raises.
