The East Baton Jail Population has been safely reduced by almost 47% since November 2017 as a result of sustainable programs and policies.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, EBR justice leaders enacted policy changes that resulted in a further decrease of 25.31% of the average daily inmate population at the Parish jail from March through July of 2020.

Newer, more efficient (and meaningful) case processing means defendants aren’t just getting out of jail faster—judges are waiving cash bonds and reducing fines to amounts that are better aligned with a defendant’s ability to pay.

Would be nice to see a graph showing crime rates over the same period.

But what is the crime rate in BR?

An empty jail isn’t a win if crime is going up.

Interesting. Wonder if there is a correlation with murder rate. Because that shite is high.

We have already surpassed 2014 murders, and we still have 6 more months to go.

Like I have said way too many times, we have far to few people incarcerated.

Here’s a pretty clear trend since 2008. You see an obvious change from 2017-2020. This is from a report published by the BR police department.

I wonder if you looked up the ones let out early and did a comparison to spikes in crime, if it would correlate to the reason for more crime?

I think i could probably guess the answer.
