on the first day of a pandemic-era law enacted to ease crowding were rearrested within a year, a new study from a team of Rutgers University researchers found.

“The likelihood of a person getting in trouble is not affected by these small adjustments in their length of stay,” said Clear, a university professor at Rutgers who specializes in criminal justice. Under the early release law, incarcerated people could earn public health credits, or reductions in their sentence due to the pandemic, while the state remained under a public health emergency.

The Department of Corrections said 2,049 people were released this year and another 179 received credits and are pending release. A spokesman declined to comment on the Rutgers report.
