This Victim Impact Statement has been developed to benefit victims of crime and to bring your thoughts and concerns to the attention of the Court and Prosecutor. Please fill out this form and attach any additional pages or letters if necessary.

In 2015, the Utah Legislature passed HB 348 (Justice Reinvestment Initiative), touted as the most significant criminal justice reform bill in decades. JRI is an all-encompassing effort to make the Courts and Board of Pardons and Parole selective about who they send to jail and prison, focusing on treatment and community based programs instead. Thus, the criminal justice system now, under JRI, is looking for options other than jail and prison.

This form will become a part of the court record and may be seen by the defendant(s) and his/her attorney.
