Louisiana’s Justice Reinvestment Reforms First Annual Performance Report
Limiting Use of Jail Sanctions: Another aim of the supervision reforms is to increase the use of “swift and certain” responses, addressing technical violations of supervision using non-jail sanctions when possible and limiting the length of jail sanctions when they are used.
In the first quarter of data:
• The number of administrative jail sanctions used dropped by 26%. This is driven primarily by a large drop in the number of administrative jail sanctions used to respond to Level 1 violations, a result of new limits on the use of jail sanctions for lower-level violations.
• The number of technical revocations dropped by 53%, and the average number of days spent in custody for a technical revocation decreased by 21 days.
• The number of full revocations across probation and parole dropped by 7.4%.
