“…Under determinate sentencing systems, the judge typically prescribes the length of postrelease parole supervision terms and sets the time of release at the back end of a sentence. In indeterminate sentencing jurisdictions, like New Jersey, the judge determines a range of time for the total sentence, and the determination of when—or if—parole release is to occur is left to the discretion of a quasi-judicial agency, often a parole board (Larkin, 2013). The decisions of the releasing authority can include requirements that the parolee engage in certain activities, including treatment, education, and skills training, in addition to the decision to release an inmate onto parole (see Travis & Petersilia, 2001).…”

This article reports the findings of a quasi-experimental evaluation of community resource centers (CRCs)—nonresidential, day reporting centers employed for recent parolees. CRC participants ( n = 2,789), drawn from release cohorts in 2008, 2009, and 2010, were matched using propensity scores to similar parolees who did not participate in CRC programming ( n = 16,500). At the conclusion of the scoring and matching process, 2,789 CRC–parolee pairs were identified, including the full population of program participants. Outcome measures, including rearrest, reconviction, and parole revocation rates, after 1, 2, and 3 years are reported. Across all release cohorts, CRC participants were arrested and revoked at significantly higher rates, resulting in higher rates of returns to custody. Implications for correctional policy are considered.

“…47 In many states, parole withered and died. 48 Congress replaced the federal parole system with sentencing guidelines designed to regulate the front end of the correctional process. 49 Distinguished commentators have argued that we should revisit the federal parole system and reconsider some type of review mechanism to reassess sentences after some period of imprisonment has elapsed.…”
