    Welcome to “DC Public Safety” – Radio and television shows, blog and transcripts on crime, criminal offenders and the criminal justice system.

    Current Radio Program:

    The program examines the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority Adult Redeploy program. Those interviewed include Jack Cutrone, Executive Director of the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, Mary Ann Dyar, Program Administrator, Adult Redeploy and Cabell Cropper, Executive Director, National Criminal Justice Association.

    Adult Redeploy seeks to promote local alternatives to incarceration for low level non-violent offenders. In order to meet this goal, the legislation empowered the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA) to create the Adult Redeploy program, which provides monetary incentives to help communities pay for evidence-based rehabilitation and supervision services. In exchange for monetary incentives and technical assistance, localities agree to reduce the number of offenders remanded to Department of Corrections control by 25 percent. While the initiative is only a little more than two years old it has already diverted more than 1,200 offenders and saved an estimated $20 million.

    The website for the Adult Redeploy program is http://www.icjia.org/public/redeploy/ .

    We thank Bethany Broida, Director of Communications for the National Criminal Justice Association for producing the program.
