RECIDIVIZ INC

Covid-19 modelling: we developed a toolkit to help criminal justice decision makers track and anticipate the impact of covid-19 in incarceration settings. It included outbreak modeling to project cases, hospitalizations, and deaths among both staff and the incarcerated population; real time rate of spread and trajectory of the outbreak in each facility, based on case numbers entered to-date; and an impact analysis which compared before-and-after scenarios for policy changes and early release decisions.

Spark policy memos: this initiative provided impact analyses for policy proposals under review in legislative sessions across the country, supporting groups from both sides of the aisle to focus the legislative debate around sound data and the full impact of proposed reforms. Our model forecasts both human and fiscal impact. We also include comparisons that identify when states are outliers among peers in spending, length of stay, recidivism, or trajectory to help partners identify the right approach to motivating change.
