What policies and practices have been put in place to address the crisis?

In 2006, the Pew Charitable Trusts launched the Public Safety Performance Project (PSPP) to help states advance fiscally sound, data driven policies and practices in corrections and sentencing that protect public safety, hold offenders accountable, and control corrections cost.
