In October, The Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing released a new report examining substance use as a driver of probation revocation and resentencing in the Commonwealth. The report found that nearly one third (up to 30.5%) of all resentencing events for people sentenced to community supervision are attributable to substance use. Resentencing for these offenses resulted in significantly longer supervision time, estimated at up to 1.3 million supervision days for individuals sentenced to community-based sanctions in 2016-2017. The report recommends less reliance on incarceration as a response to substance-related violations by individuals under supervision and strengthening access to evidence-based treatment. Miranda A. Galvin, postdoctoral scholar on sentencing at the CJRC, is the lead author of the report. Read the full report here.
