Philadelphia DA Krasner Outlines New Policy to Reduce Number of People on Probation

Philly DA Larry Krasner announces new guidelines to reduce city’s reliance on probation and parole. More than 42,000 Philadelphians are on probation — more than three times of people on probation in NYC. “These new policies are an effort to end mass supervision, which is a major driver of mass incarceration, and bring back balance to sentencing,” Krasner said.
