As Floridians face the harsh realities of a $2 billion budget shortfall, policymakers are tasked with looking at further ways to cut wasteful spending. “As with all government services, criminal and juvenile justice spending must answer directly to the taxpayers. Public accountability in justice demands getting the best results at the lowest possible price tag—both in terms of cost and public safety impact.”
