Abstract Jails are a critical part of the criminal justice system but, until recently, have been omitted from discussions of reform. The goal of the current study is to describe and evaluate a collaborative, problem-solving initiative designed to reduce the jail population in St. Louis County, Missouri. The initiative was implemented as part of a research-practitioner partnership and is designed around a case review model, deemed the Population Review Team (PRT) commonly used in epidemiological analysis and problem-solving policing models. The outcome analysis suggests that the implementation of the PRT was associated with a significant decline in the total jail population, the number of individuals held on non-violent felonies, and those held for over 100 days. The collaborative project provides one model for criminal justice systems reform and a tool for decarceration.

系统的案例审查策略：减少监狱人口的应用

摘要监狱是刑事司法系统的重要组成部分，但是直到最近，改革的讨论都没有提到监狱。当前研究的目的是描述和评估旨在减少密苏里州圣路易斯县监狱人口的协作式解决问题计划。该倡议是作为研究与从业者合作伙伴关系的一部分而实施的，并围绕一个案例审查模型进行设计，该模型被认为是流行病学分析和解决问题治安模型中常用的人口审查小组（PRT）。结果分析表明，实施PRT与监狱总人数，非暴力重罪罪犯人数以及被拘留100天以上的人数显着减少有关。
