Incarceration: The New Parole System

With the decrease of the budget, it has made the parole offices job harder, with fewer people working and less recourse at their disposal. With the increase of caseload, this has created a system where everything is taking to much time by looking at paroles case by case (tt). There needs to be a new system introduced that have a better effect on oversight, control and consistency (tt). There needs to be new policy introduced that bring better community structure that allows the individual to feel a part of society which would stop them to commit a crime. There is the ideology struggle we think incarceration is the best form of punishment this has to change. The parole system does not work most criminal are sent back to prison. There has been
a program in Hawaii called Hawaii's Opportunity Probation with Enforcement (HOPE) (lol). This gives an individual a warning hearing if they missed an appointment with a parole or a positive drug result would send them back to prison for a two day to a few weeks (lol). This system has been highly effective in Hawaii when a individual is put back in prison once and jailed briefly are never referred again to the program (lol). It shows with the introduction of new policy it can affect an individual recidivism.
