Thumbnail preview ANNOTATION: “The purpose of this white paper is to explore the role of local jurisdictions in state prison population management strategies by examining the three policy levers in the criminal justice system that can most directly and immediately influence the number of people in prison” (p. 3). Other jurisdictions can take away ideas about how they can impact growth in their own prison populations. State strategies, local impact, local influence, and findings and implications are provided for sentencing, inmate release and transfer, and supervision violation response. Suggestions for future policy are also discussed.
