HARSHBARGER COMMISSION RECOMMENDS BLUEPRINT FOR REFORM: "HARSHBARGER COMMISSION RECOMMENDS BLUEPRINT FOR REFORM - The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
SHIRLEY � The 15-member Governor�s Commission on Corrections Reform today presented their comprehensive findings and recommendations to Governor Mitt Romney.
The report notes that although 97 percent of inmates are eventually released back into society, the Department of Correction (DOC) inadequately prepares them for successful re-entry. The panel urges the Department to make prisoner re-entry a top priority to ensure inmates don�t re-offend once they serve their sentence and are back living in the community."
