Decreasing the Jail Population Doesn't Mean Less Safety, New Study Finds
The study's findings, supported by the MacArthur Foundation, indicate that reducing jail populations did not increase crime. In some places, crime decreased.
Last week, new data was released showing that reductions in arrests and jail populations does not lead to an increase in crime or adversely impact community safety, based off of studies produced from the Safety and Justice Challenge (SJC). 
Sponsored by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, “[t]he Safety and Justice Challenge is providing support to local leaders from across the country who are determined to tackle one of the greatest drivers of over-incarceration in America—the misuse and overuse of jails.” Challenge participants are tasked with “develop[ing] and model[ing] effective ways to keep people out of jail who don’t belong there, more effectively reintegrate[ing] those who must be confined into the community upon release, and help[ing] them stay out of jail thereafter. In doing so, they will demonstrate alternatives to incarceration as usual, creating models for reducing unnecessary jail use to make communities healthier, fairer, and safer.”
