To gain deeper insights into how time affects probation and parole, Georgia partnered with a third-party research institute to conduct a comprehensive workload analysis. Such analyses are beneficial for improving service delivery because they identify barriers to completing tasks and uncover areas for intervention (DeMichele et al., 2011).

Abstract
What is the ideal caseload size? What is the best way for administrators to assign cases to officers? How can these decisions have an impact on future funding allocations and staffing decisions? These are some of the important questions facing the community corrections field. The US correctional system is bursting at the seams with over 2 million individuals in prison or jail and over 5 million on probation and parole (Pew, 2009). There are too many individuals for our nation’s prisons and jails to house, and probation and parole agencies are struggling to develop effective reentry strategies. Policymakers and correctional administrators are developing innovative solutions to handle more than 7 million adults under criminal justice control. Innovative solutions focus on finding cost effective practices to supervise offenders without jeopardizing public safety.
