- Abstract
The article shows that decarceration is a clear possibility in California but not a certain outcome. It says that in this state, the launch of a "parole violation decision-making instrument" is the only policy change that lessen the prison population. It also tackles research on the rise in imprisonment that recommends approaches to lower prison populations. It then looks at how the changes that took effect in the 1960s and early 1970s could be repeated in the penal and governmental scenarios of 2010.
