Jeremy Travis testified before California's Little Hoover Commission, which has initiated an inquiry of California's parole policies and practices. His testimony covers four themes: 1) California has embarked on parole policies markedly different from every other state in the country; 2) parole supervision and revocation policies are very expensive and come with uncertain benefits; 3) investing more money in programs for parolees will have little benefit without changes to the policy framework; and 4) a reinvestment strategy that moves funds from state corrections budgets to new forms of community-level reentry management could save money and reduce crime.
