ANNOTATION: The impact of the first five years of “mandatory community-based supervision and substance abuse treatment for [nonviolent] individuals convicted of a first or second offense of simple drug possession” on recidivism rates and prison populations is assessed (p. 2). The following chapters and conclusions and recommendations are contained in the final report: methodology; sentencing practices; supervision and treatment practices; the individual-level impact of SB 123; the system-level impact; criminal justice perspectives; and offender perspectives. Findings reveal that the implementation of SB 123 saved the Kansas between 158 to 374 prison beds, resulted in more funding for drug treatment, and little impact on recidivism.
