With the 2021-22 legislative session nearing an end, time is running out for the House to consider a Senate-passed bill that advocates say would allow for early probation termination for those who follow the rules. Opponents argue its provisions would create reason to send people back to prison.
for those who comply with the rules placed on them, and offer incentives that reward positive behavior and participation in education, employment, vocational and drug treatment programs.
Having more time added to their probation sentence can make it harder to find work while at the same time, costing taxpayers more money to keep them in the criminal justice system, advocates say. He shared that statistics from York County’s own early probation termination initiative. Sunday said 92% of those 736 individuals who had their probation supervision terminated early over the past five years did not return to prison for a subsequent offense.
With Pennsylvania having the nation’s sixth largest probation system and 10% of inmates behind bars because of probation violations many of them being minor, Stephen Bloom, vice president of the conservative-leaning Commonwealth Foundation in Harrisburg, said taxpayers stand to save $7.2 million annually by passing this bill.
