Modernizing Parole Statutes: Guidance from Evidence-Based Practice

  1. Sanctions and Incentives
    Recommendations
  • Require paroling authorities and the supervising agency to establish a broad policy-driven behavior response model that reflects evidence-based components:
    • responses should encompass both positive and negative behaviors and should include tailored rewards and sanctions, as appropriate; n responses to violations should be swift, certain, and proportionate;
    • use of community-based sanctions should be maximized prior to any custodial sanctions;
    • custodial sanctions should be permissible and encouraged in lieu of full revocation; and
    • responses to violations should include both sanctions and a corrective intervention to support behavior change.
