The Political Dynamics of Justice Reform in The U.S.

Georgia, like Alabama amended their policy for food assistance programs for a case-bycase
premise under Senate Bill 367.
Hawaii
The summer of 2012 the governor enacted two bills to reform the justice system for both
juveniles and adults. House Bill 2515 and Senate Bill 2776, which was agreed upon by
both parties, were signed to reduce the number of prisoners by reducing recidivism
rates and use rehabilitation more than prisons.
Idaho
In 2005, Idaho created
a group of members
from the branches of
government to
contemplate the
issues in the criminal
justice system and find
the most cost effective
and safe practices to
keep the public safe
and reform the
system.
They have created
guidelines to reduce
recidivism rates in
their state. Idaho,
most recently, has
revised a policy for
posting cash bail
bonds for low-level
driving offenses.
Illinois
Illinois adopted House
Bill 1437, in 2016, requiring the Criminal Justice Information Authority to evaluate the
reporting practices.
It also regulates the requirements for reporting practices such as arrest without charges,
most involving racial demographics.
