A Department of Corrections policy is quietly reshaping how long people are incarcerated in Vermont
A new Vermont Department of Corrections policy called 'risk containment' allows the department to incarcerate individuals past their minimum release dates if deemed a risk, impacting inmates like G., who may serve until 2032 despite a 2025 plea deal. The policy, introduced in July 2024, has limited participants' access to release mechanisms like furlough and parole recommendations.
