Smart on Crime, recomendations

Smart on Crime, recommendations for the new administration and Congress, deserves criminal justice advocates attention, and the link will lead you to website dedicated to presenting the catalog.

After the 2008 elections, America’s policymakers will take a fresh look at the criminal justice system, which so desperately needs their attention. To assist with that review, leaders and experts from all aspects of the criminal justice community spent months collaboratively identifying key issues and gathering policy advice into one comprehensive set of recommendations for the new administration and Congress. This catalogue is the fruit of those labors.

I hope you will share this information with your friends, and family, printing at least some pertinent portions for your imprisoned loved ones.
