Optimism and Obstacles: The Future of Federal Sentencing Reform
Date & Time
Thursday, October 26, 2017, 4:00 PM - 4:50 PM
Mark Holden Marc Levin Sharanda Jones
Description
While a growing number of states passed sentencing reforms in 2016, legislative efforts at the federal level stalled, and guidelines remain relatively unchanged. Considering that around 50 percent of the federal inmate population is incarcerated on drug charges with an average drug sentence of more than five years in prison, many have issued calls to reevaluate federal sentencing policy. A unique group of panelists look at what federal sentencing gets right and where there is room for improvement.
