The White House launched a new criminal justice reform this week aimed at studying the prison population and determining which people should be moved from prison cells into treatment centers.

The Data-Driven Justice Initiative will seek to identify at-risk individuals — those suffering from mental illnesses, substance abuse disorders and chronic health problems — and relocate them into treatment facilities. It also aims to keep people from being incarcerated simply because they are awaiting trial for a low-level offense but cannot afford to post bail.
