Across the country, jurisdictions are grappling with overcrowded jails, system inefficiencies, and the far-reaching consequences of unnecessary pretrial detention. This workshop provides a practical data-informed framework for implementing a jail population review process that helps jurisdictions understand who is in their jail, why they are there, and how to safely reduce unnecessary detention. Participants will explore the impacts of pretrial incarceration, learn how to analyze local jail data, and examine strategies for developing a collaborative review team that drives immediate releases and longer-term system improvements. Through examples, discussion, and real-world lessons from a jurisdiction that has implemented this kind of process, participants will learn how to create a sustainable approach that enhances fairness, efficiency, and public safety.
