Criminal Justice System Reform

One of the programs that the Koch Institute is focused on includes reformation of the criminal justice system, with specific ideals such as rehabilitation and different alternatives than prison for minor crimes such as underage possession of alcohol and marijuana or petty theft.

Recently, the Virginia-based Charles Koch Institute in coordination with the James Madison Institute, gathered data from a poll of 1,488 Florida residents utilizing an opt-in Web-based panel which ended up with results that reflected the dissatisfaction with the current system. Results included:

72 percent agreed or strongly agreed that it is important to reform the criminal justice system in Florida 75 percent of Floridians agree or strongly agree that the prison population is costing our country too much money 72 percent believe felons should be able to get licenses to work after they finish serving their sentences 74 percent believe prisons should focus more on rehabilitation than punishment (Utilizing information from:
