She calls it an “important move” to reducing technical violations for those on probation coming back to prison. Now, Jones says she has some other priorities on her radar. “And, one of the Department’s priorities next session will be vocational and educational programming for inmates,” she said. “So, an inmate that does come to the prison system, we intend—in the next two years—to make sure they’re properly evaluated and then have a program planned for the day that they come into the system. So, we’re doing a much better job in trying to change the criminogenic thinking and giving them the tools to succeed in community, as opposed to what we’re doing really good right now, which is just warehousing them.” Read More. |
