Abstract

Work release programs are authorized by the statutes of all fifty states. Some states have clearly articulated work release programs while others are partial, with little statutory governance for their establishment or operation. Yet most correctional authorities agree that work release provides crucial transitioning into functional re-entry. As the recent crises in the California correctional system dramatized, overflowing systems can no longer be tolerated. The contemporary penal climate, which prioritizes economic efficiency and evidence-based corrections, is ripe for a re-invigoration of a tried and true technique. Therefore, in order to document the current state of work release in the U.S., we combined a review of statutory authorization with an examination of implementation. We begin by describing the reasons why work release makes sense, focusing on the example of Washington state, followed by a review of the current parameters of work release in state law. By examining how work release now works, we can suggest how best to take advantage of the interest in bringing economic efficiency to the correctional system.
工作文件:作为经济刺激的工作释放:50个州当前和潜在使用概况
所有50个州的法规都授权了工作释放计划。一些州有明确的工作释放计划,而另一些州则是局部的,对其建立或运作几乎没有法律治理。然而,大多数惩教机构都认为,释放工作是向功能性重返社会的关键过渡。随着最近加州惩教系统危机的戏剧化,人满为患的系统再也不能被容忍了。当前的刑罚环境,优先考虑经济效率和基于证据的纠正,是成熟的,重新振兴一个行之有效的技术。因此,为了记录美国工作发布的当前状态,我们将法定授权的审查与执行的审查结合起来。我们首先描述工作释放有意义的原因,集中在华盛顿州的例子上,然后回顾州法律中工作释放的当前参数。通过研究工作释放现在是如何工作的,我们可以建议如何最好地利用利益,为惩教系统带来经济效率。
