Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council (JRAC)
Troy discussed the JRAC Report. It appears we need to collect better data, across the state. Between 2015-2017, the new misdemeanor offenses continued to be approximately 45,000. During that same period, the new felony offenses increased from 35,000 to 42,000. The felony caseloads are increasing, but we need to provide better data. Data to show the 1006 funds are being used to produce good outcomes. The next meeting is September 17.
The DMHA budget has not been announced. The next criminal code meeting will be about human trafficking.
