目前很少有刑事司法学者，从业人员和政治家预计将见证惩教人口减少的现象。然而，有证据表明，在地方、州和区域各级，监禁人数的增长显著下降，甚至囚犯人数也有所减少。在这篇文章中，我们描绘的程度，decarceration和检查的背景下，它已经发生。然后，我们探讨了可能的积极和消极的结果，从decarceration和结束与推进decarceration运动的议程。
Few current criminal justice scholars, practitioners, and politicians expected to witness the phenomenon of decreasing correctional populations. Yet, there is evidence at local, state, and regional levels of significant declines in the growth of incarceration and even decreases in the size of prisoner populations. In this article we delineate the extent of decarceration and examine the context in which it has occurred. We then explore possible positive and negative outcomes resulting from decarceration and conclude with an agenda for advancing a decarceration movement.
