Facing facts and correcting myths about Alaska SB 91
Posted on January 2, 2019 by Kelly Smith

Facing facts and correcting myths about Alaska SB 91Alaska’s omnibus criminal justice reform legislation includes SCF for probation and parole, which has been found to reduce reoffending.

Moreover, SB 91 included provisions that make it more likely those coming out of prison will be prepared to be law-abiding citizens, such as providing photo identification to discharging inmates and the development of individualized reentry plans 90 days prior to release that better enable inmates to connect with family, employment, and housing. SB 91 also implemented swift and certain sanctions and incentives for people on supervision, which could be a curfew on one hand or a travel permit on the other. These have been found to reduce re-offending by sending an immediate and clear message that compliance is expected.
