While about half of the nearly 4.5 million people on probation or parole will successfully complete their sentences, onerous supervision requirements can become a tripwire, resulting in incarceration. In 2016, for example, 350,000 people exited supervision by entering a jail or prison — often for violating rules such as failing a drug test or missing a required meeting, rather than for a new criminal offense.

In an effort to transform community supervision and shift the focus from punishing failure to promoting success, the Laura and John Arnold Foundation and The Pew Charitable Trusts recently announced an initiative to work with leading experts on community supervision policy, practitioners at the state and local levels, and advocates and stakeholders such as victims’ family members, to adopt evidence-backed reforms.

There is your disconnect and meet the good folks that will be changing policy. Know who these clowns are.

So are you for this 'transformation'?

I don't consider the 'violated rules' a 'tripwire' for parole since that was a condition for the parole... Otherwise they can always remain in prison instead of being given parole.

I am not for this transformation. But, they will flood the news with BS and they will impact states heavily because they will flash some cash and the elected officials will take it.
