MONTHLY INDICATORS

Required under Public Act 05-249, the purpose of the Monthly Indicators report is to monitor trends in admissions and releases from the correctional population in order to assess and evaluate the implications as they affect the statewide policy to reduce prison and jail overcrowding.

These reports are produced by OPM's CJPPD Research, Analysis & Evaluation Unit in concert with the CJPAC Research Work Group.

CONNECTICUT CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM FLOWCHART

The Connecticut Criminal Justice System Flowchart provides a summary of the Connecticut criminal justice system. Unlike many states that have county governments, the majority of agencies within the criminal justice system are State agencies. The one exception is law enforcement, where there are over 90 local police departments in addition to the Connecticut State Police.

{PDF to HTML Converter}  Connecticut Criminal Justice System Overview provides an overview of the flow of admissions and releases throughout the Connecticut criminal justice system on an annual basis.

NOTE: The flowchart shown above is from the Monthly Indicators Report included on this webpage.  The inputs and outputs of this representation of the Criminal Justice System is a closer approximation of the system and reasonably balances.  We are still in the process of continually refining this flowchart to better represent the system.  However, some of this information may be difficult to quantify and capture at this time.
