Mr. Mahan also pointed out that board should look at some of the issues that are taking place within the court system in respect to alternatives to revocation and finding gaps to alternatives sentencing.
Mr. Coleman referred to discussion with the Dept of Correction and Children's court, regarding their commitment to working with this board; Mr. Mahan added that it is important to also consider other unmet needs such as, housing, transportation that may hinder their compliance with restorative justice.
