CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM CHALLENGE
Before justice reinvestment, WV provided few substance
use services for the probation and parole population
Justice reinvestment research
found that:
22% of new commitments are for
drug offenses
62% of probation revocations to
prison had a substance score
indicating abuse or addiction
Alcohol and drug use cited in 78% of
technical parole revocations and 65%
of revocations for new crimes
