This data-driven policy package was the result of nearly two years of bipartisan policy development and advocacy driven by the Oklahoma Justice Reform Task Force. The effort was supported by the Justice Reinvestment Initiative, a partnership between Pew Charitable Trusts and the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance. The Crime and Justice Institute (CJI) provided technical assistance to the Task Force, including data analysis and policy development facilitation. This process resulted in a policy package projected to avert 67 percent of the anticipated growth in Oklahoma’s prison population over the next decade, avoiding the need for 4,800 additional prison beds. By changing course, Oklahoma will save over a billion dollars of spending on new prisons and instead invest in treatment and rehabilitation proven to reduce recidivism and protect public safety.

Author: National Reentry Resource Center Title: Strengthening Correctional Culture: Eight Ways Correctional Leaders can Support their Staff to Reduce Recidivism Summary: INTRODUCTION Every organization struggles with change. Fostering a culture that supports change in a corrections organization can be particularly challenging. Staff require strong leadership, structure, and clear policies and practices that help them succeed at their jobs. When any one of those factors changes, it is not unusual to see reactions ranging from mild anxiety to rigid resistance. Historically, corrections staff have had a straightforward mandate: to protect the safety and security of people who are incarcerated. But today, reducing recidivism is a core focus for corrections leaders, and as a result, corrections staff are also expected to help prepare people to return to their communities after incarceration. This objective often translates to a new way of doing business across state corrections systems, but more significantly, it impacts the directives given to managers and front-line staff who are now also tasked with implementing approaches and practices that have been shown to reduce recidivism.
