The mayor's office of criminal justice leads pretrial innovation including our successful supervised release program that was introduced in 2016.

Supervised release gives judges the option to release individuals with supervision into stable situations that maintains them closer to their families.
3:12:45
Similar to our alternatives to incarceration, we provide assistance in attending court, accessing employment services, getting referrals for treatment when necessary.

Thousands benefit from support supportive supervision each year instead of sitting in jail.

When I was here last month, I told you about our pilot providing intensive support for high needs individuals operating in Queens and in Manhattan.
3:13:16
This pilot is the epitome of how we use data to innovate solutions.

Individuals with higher needs must be supported by people with more experienced clinical supports and expertise.
3:13:31
Infusing highly specific person centered care in our services means that more experienced clinical staff support fewer individuals and thus increase the amount of time they spend with each client addressing the client's specific needs.

In this pilot, our ability to review the research data and real time testing of the service models is yielding some very promising early results including significantly lowering rearrest and non compliance rates.
