Sentencing Law and Policy: April 4, 2021

The title of this post is the title of this notable new short report from the Collateral Consequences Resource Center. This blog posting at CCRC, titled Second Chance Month: A Federal Reintegration Agenda provides some background on the report. Here is the report s introduction:
The new Congress has an opportunity to make significant bipartisan progress on criminal justice reform, including reducing barriers to successful reintegration for people with a criminal record. This agenda recommends specific measures by which Congress can accomplish this.
