30-Year-Old Risk Score Still Dictates Prison Releases: Is It Time for an Update?

For three decades, a risk assessment formula has been pivotal in deciding temporary prison releases in Spain. Developed to curb repeat offenses, this formula assigns a risk score to prisoners, influencing whether they are granted temporary release. The scoring system, rooted in data from the 1990s, uses a relatively small sample of prisoners. An interactive graphic demonstrates how altering variables like foreign status or escape attempts impacts the score. Notably, being a foreigner increases the risk score more than an attempted escape. As this outdated system continues to affect release decisions, questions arise about its relevance and fairness in today’s context.
