IT TAKES A VILLAGE
The Game-Changing Approach of California’s Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
Those who study the history of corrections in this country will recognize a significant shift when it comes to assessing practice, applying what works, and using data to inform policy.

California’s Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation took a long hard look at their system from top to bottom, culminating an actionable roadmap toward significant and meaningful change toward the reduction of recidivism and of the revolving door of incarceration.
