Description

Massachusetts has seen significant decreases in incarcerated populations over the last few years.  These decreases, however, have been mostly attributable to sentencing practices rather than decision-making around pretrial incarceration due to bail or pretrial detention.  Since 2018 the Sheriff’s Association has reported a 40% decline in the number of people in custody for a sentence to the House of Correction from 3,588 in June 2018 to 2,149 in June 2023. During the same period the number of people being held in jail pending trial decreased from 4,731 to 4,030 or only 15%. (https://www.mass.gov/lists/county-population-reports) 2018’s Criminal Justice Reform Act provides access to the Community Justice Support Centers in lieu of bail, or as a condition of release. Courts can order Pretrial Treatment, wherein clients access the array of treatment, education, and employment services available at a Support Center.
