Summary/Notes: The Office of the Chief Judge in collaboration with Cook County criminal justice stakeholders has been awarded the second round of funding through the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation’s Safety and Justice Challenge to safely reduce the use of local incarceration by reducing the flow of individuals into jail, shortening lengths of stay in jail, and diminishing racial and ethnic disparities in jail populations without compromising public safety. The proposed DUA facilitates the data exchange between the Cook County Safety and Justice Challenge and Loyola University Chicago to design and develop a data portal which will be used to provide statistical data and analytical trends within and across key decision points in the criminal justice system, inform policy decision making and enhance transparency. The Loyola University Chicago is separately funded by the MacArthur Foundation, and the proposed DUA does not have any fiscal impacts on Cook County.
