Column: How are SAFE-T Act reforms going, one year later? – Champaign News-Gazette

Jim Dey: "Given the relative short duration of the SAFE-T Act, it’s difficult to make firm judgments on its impact on the courts and the public. Questions abound. How many released inmates committed new crimes? How many inmates returned to court for future hearings? How many defendants comply with newer and more lenient home-confinement rules? One thing is clear — the proponents of the new law are thrilled with their handiwork."
