Justice Reinvestment and Supervision Practices
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM CHALLENGE
Individuals failing on community supervision put significant pressure
on county and state facilities.
On any given day, 27 PERCENT
of North Dakota's prison beds are
occupied by people who were on
probation and parole supervision
prior to being revoked and required
to serve a term in prison.

Probation and parole revocations impose substantial costs for county governments as well:
33 percent of people revoked from probation are required to serve terms in jail. 45 percent
of revocations from probation involved no new criminal offenses; the probationer violated
the conditions of his or her supervision. In surveys, probation and parole officers indicated
they are seeking additional tools-sanctions, incentives, and treatment where needed-to
hold probationers and parolees accountable.
