Chief U.S. Pretrial Services Officer Christine Dozier (Ret.) of the District of New Jersey has become known for her unique philosophy that “reentry begins at arrest.” In her fifteen-year tenure, she transformed the agency from being a traditional provider of pretrial services, to one on the cutting edge of innovation, not just in pretrial work but in criminal justice more generally. Chief Dozier’s approach has enabled the District of New Jersey’s pretrial services office to become a leader in release rates and successful outcomes for individuals on pretrial supervision. She has taken a systems view, illustrating that an individual’s success on pretrial release can have a positive impact on their sentence, their community following reentry, and their post-conviction supervision. Host Mark Sherman talks with Chief Dozier about the present and future of federal pretrial services and what she learned as a leader over the course of her tenure.
