THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Revision of parole guidelines to incorporate the Department of Corrections' new Strong R risk assessment tool, replacing LSIR.
The new tool, Strong R, is a 'static risk and offensor needs guide revised' developed by Vantage. The current LSIR tool has shown racial bias. The process involves data collection for validation, review of analyses by PCS staff, drafting new language, public hearings, and legislative review. The commission is legally required to use a validated risk tool. The timeline is highly accelerated and could be longer. The DOC will continue to use LSIR until the new guidelines are effective. Inferred: The DOC may need assistance with data collection and validation of Strong R. The Commission may need assistance with analyzing the impact of the new tool on historical decision rates and drafting new guidelines.
