90+ Day Sentence for Previously Supervised Population Summary Supervision failures, decreased from this quarter last year, increased over the previous quarter, but has held constant to the previous three quarter average. This quarter’s movement pushes the population away from the goal’s direction. The first quarter of FY 2013 shows an increase from last quarter and is well above the goal line.

Notes/Comments This is the sum of entrants who were on probation, parole, and furlough last quarter, received a new sentence, and have hit the 90-day barrier to entry of being counted as a recidivist during this quarter. These offenders have been incarcerated for more than 90 days, but less than 120 to ensure no double counting has occurred. This is not the whole of recidivists; however, it is the closest possible for entries from supervision the Vermont data system will allow.
