List potential reasons for the increase in the jail incarceration rate over the past decade

What will be an ideal response?


• First, the "tough on crime" mentality of the public affects the percentage of offenders who receive bail or are released on recognizance. Judges do not want to put potentially dangerous offenders back on the streets and are more likely to set higher bail amounts and less likely to grant release without bond requirements. Second, with extensive overcrowding of state and federal prisons over the past decade, more jail inmates are being held by jails as they await transfer to prison.
