Reentry Revisited 

Let’s revisit what we have learned so far in the Targeted Interventions Strategies module. Please answer the following question.

Which of the following statements are false?

Pretrial inmates make up 61 percent of the jail population around the country.

Research finds serious community safety issues with pretrial release.

The pretrial population continues to rise at a higher rate than the sentenced population.

Low-risk defendants on validated pretrial release risk instruments have high court appearance rates while awaiting trial.

Summary

Now that you have completed this section, you should understand the pretrial defendants make up the majority of the jail population. Many of them are incarcerated because they can’t post money-bond that have been set by the court, and not because of their risk to the community or their failure to appear in court if released. Using evidence-based pretrial risk release instruments will help jurisdictions determine which detainees are good candidates to return to their community pending their court date.
