Description

Inmates under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Department of Correction (MADOC) are released to many different communities throughout the state and in some cases are released to communities outside of Massachusetts. This brief is a statistical look at the communities to which criminally sentenced inmates are being released1 . For the purposes of this report, communities may refer to counties, cities, towns or municipalities both in and outside of Massachusetts. As of 2012, released from parole detainers as well as court releases were added to the definition of “release to the street”. This accounts for the substantial increase in releases to the street from 2011 to 2012 as shown in previous reports. This increase is reflected throughout this report.
