Summary
Recommendations -- Methodology -- I. Background: offender-funded criminal justice systems -- II. The heavy burden of private probation -- III. The consequences of not paying -- IV. Human rights and US law -- Acknowledgments -- Appendix I [- X].
"Many US states allow private companies to supervise probation for minor offenses. People on probation pay fees to the private companies for supervision, and bear the costs of drug testing, document checks, community service, and other court-mandated conditions which the same private probation companies often provide. [This report] documents the impact of privatized probation systems in four US states: Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee, and finds that people living in poverty often face the greatest consequences of the private probation system, as they have to forego basic necessities ... to pay their fees and fines. ... Based on over 150 interviews, the report also documents numerous cases of human rights abuses associated with the private probation system and calls for greater government oversight and regulation of the industry."--Back cover.
