Mr. Sapers, you've noted in your report that over the last 10 years, day parole has decreased by 15% and full parole has decreased by 40%. In your remarks today, you noted that the slowing rate of offenders returned to the community is leading to higher and avoidable custody costs without a measurable contribution to reducing crime or reoffending rates. You've mentioned in your report the U.S. experience with medical parole provisions.
I wonder if you could speak to how we might increase parole and save costs, and if we can measure the costs that we're currently spending for what appears to be no reason at all.
