DEEP DIVE: SYSTEM ANOMALIES

Executing deep analysis of critical system stressors. This module provides an interactive, data-driven look at two significant anomalies: chronic correctional facility overcrowding and court system case backlogs.

Anomaly 1: Overcrowding

Filter by year to analyze population vs. capacity.

Anomaly 2: Case Backlog

Trend of pending cases, highlighting processing latency.

REFORM PROTOCOLS

In response to systemic challenges, various reform protocols have been initiated to optimize justice delivery. These programs aim to enhance efficiency, mitigate overcrowding, and improve system access. Expand a protocol to view its brief.
