“…Even within the boundaries of the federal criminal justice system, the uncoordinated and decoupled structure of federal agencies, in which no one group of stakeholders claim responsibility for the whole, limits the potential of these innovations. In all likelihood, without restructuring and the adoption of a truly reentry-centered vision of criminal justice (Pinard 2007), the federal criminal justice system will continue to deliver what it has delivered for the past thirty years: a glut of imprisonment that is inefficient (La Vigne and Samuels, 2012), unsustainable (Pew Center on the States 2009), and, ultimately, criminogenic (Clear 2007;Vieraitis, Kovandzic, and Marvell 2007). This possibility of failure is particularly frustrating, given recent evidence from the states indicating that statutory, structural, and procedural changes indeed can build on evidence-based practice to maximize community safety in a manner that is rational, fair, just, and cost-effective.…”
