(Offender Management)
Reasons for prison overcrowding and ways to address this problem beyond utilizing the ineffective prison expansion model are discussed. Following an introduction, sections of this report look at: factors impacting prison overcrowding; options to manage growth in prison population; recommendations for community corrections policy; and recommendations for community corrections procedure. Connecticut needs "a comprehensive community corrections strategy that is based on a system of graduated sanctions and reserves prison for the most serious, violent, or habitual criminals" (p. 1 -- Introduction.)
