“Therapeutic Justice is defined as a systemic approach which insures a collaborative partnership between the
Courts, the Criminal Justice System and the Behavioral Health system while providing that the public safety net
is able to provide for the most efficient and effective support for persons who are in crisis and or are
experiencing psychiatric and substance abuse disorders.”

Before the end of the 2007 legislative session the Texas Legislature enacted a package of criminal justice policies designed to prevent the predicted growth in the prison population and save $443 million.
To improve success rates of people under supervision, A reinvestment of $241 million planned to expand the capacity of substance abuse and mental health community-based treatment and diversion programs, and enacted parole reforms to enhance the use of parole for low-risk offenders.
Between 2006 and 2008, probation revocations to prison declined by 4% and parole revocations to prison plummeted by 25%. Madden, J. (2009, April 1).. “ Hearing on Justice Reinvestment”.

"Justice Reinvestment"April 1, 2009
Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee
U.S. House of Representatives: Jerry Madden
“During the 1980s and 1990s, the Texas legislature enacted tough, new criminal laws which increased the incarceration rate in Texas becoming one of the largest prison systems in the nation”(Madden,2009).
“Between 1985 and 2005, the state prison population grew by 300 percent. Texas spent $2.3 billion to add 108,000 prison beds”(Madden,2009).
In 2007 an analysis was requested of The Justice Center resulting in the identification of three key factors contributing to the growth in the Texas prison population;;
1. 1. Between 1997 and 2006, an 18% increase in probation revocations despite a 3 percent decline in the probation population. 2. Reductions in funding for community-based substance abuse and mental health services , and by 2006, more than 2,000 individuals were awaiting placement in
such programs and facilities 3. 3. Fewer approvals for Parole for low risk individuals were granted (Madden,2009).
The Texas justice reinvestment strategy consisting of treatment alternatives to incarceration strategies resulted in an immediate savings of $210.5 million for fiscal years 2008 and 2009 (Madden,2009)
