Taxonomy: Sentencing Reform Groups

Organizations that advocate for changes in the regulations that govern sentencing practices that will ensure that the courts deal effectively with offenders, particularly those who are violent, while protecting their Constitutional rights. Sentencing reform issues include "three strikes" type laws for repeat offenders, determinate versus indeterminate sentencing, mandatory minimum sentencing for specified crimes, and alternatives to imprisonment for lesser offenders to prevent overcrowding and premature release of more dangerous inmates.
