This data reports the percentage of people who successfully completed

Parole is considered successfully completed if an individual is discharged
from parole positively or if a parole period expires. Unsuccessful completions
of parole occur when the parole ends due to absconsion, a revocation, or a
negative termination. Deaths, suspensions, and terminations marked as “other”
are excluded from these calculations because they are neither successful nor
unsuccessful.
Parole is considered successfully completed if an individual is
discharged from parole positively, either due to the parole period
expiring, a pardon or commutation granted by the Board of Pardons, or an
early discharge granted by a judge. Unsuccessful completions of parole
occur when the parole ends due to absconsion, a revocation, or a
negative termination. Deaths, suspensions, and terminations marked as
“other” are excluded from these calculations because they are neither
successful nor unsuccessful.
</p>
<p>
Individuals whose parole is terminated prior to their projected completion
month are counted in the month in which their parole is scheduled to complete,
while individuals who have not yet completed parole by their projected
completion date are excluded. For example, if 15 people are projected to
complete parole in 12 months, 5 are revoked this month, 3 are discharged early
in 8 months, 2 complete parole in 12 months, and 5 do not complete parole, the
completion rate in 12 months will be 50%, as 10 of the people projected to
complete parole will have actually completed parole, 5 of them successfully.
The summary percentages show the percentage of people who successfully
completed parole in all of the months shown out of all the people whose
parole was terminated in that time period. Individuals with multiple
terminations during the period are counted as unsuccessful if any of the
terminations were unsuccessful.

title:
"What are we doing to further improve disparities in criminal justice in Pennsylvania?",
body: `<p>
The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections has supported a
series of legislative initiatives that help create a more equitable
justice system in the commonwealth. Under Governor Wolf’s leadership,
Pennsylvania has enacted a new Clean Slate law, fought against the
reinstatement of mandatory minimum sentences, and implemented two
Justice Reinvestment initiatives (2012, 2016). The Black proportion of the
incarcerated population in Pennsylvania is at its lowest point since
2010 partially due to these efforts.
