Cite and Release to Cite and Divert
San Marcos, TX. The city passed an ordinance requiring that police officers serve low-level offenses with a citation instead of arrest and jail time. Some offenses will even qualify for some type of diversion instead of a citation. This would allow a person to fulfill some sort of program (such as community service), and once fulfilled their record remains clean.
Closing the Workhouse
St. Louis, MO. Local activists have pushed for the closure of the city’s medium-security prison, known as “The Workhouse.” After several years of public pressure, the campaign adjusted its strategy to focus on defunding the Workhouse through the budget process.
