And shockingly, most parole boards granted fewer paroles during 2020 than 2019.

Almost a year later, itвЂ™s still true: We found that the moderate drops in prison populations in 2020 were the result of fewer admissions, not more releases. We reported early in the pandemic that prisons were releasing almost no one.
