THE SENTENCING PROJECT A National Non-profit Organization Promoting Sentencing Reform EVENTS, SERVICES AND LIST OF PUBLICATIONS About The Sentencing Project The Sentencing Project was established in 1986 to improve sentencing practices and to develop sentencing programs that promote alternatives to incarceration and particularly for indigent defendants. Its staff and consultants are experts in introducing successful sentencing programs and other reforms into state and local criminal justice systems, in training court officials, and in analyzing and assessing court and corrections needs. The Sentencing Project blends practical experience in over a dozen states with its well-publicized research findings to advocate for change in the way Americans think about crime and punishment. The Sentencing Project supports its work through foundation grants, individual contributions, training and technical assistance, and publications sales. Please write or call to find out more about The Sentencing Project and its goals and activities. DIRECT ASSISTANCE TO COUNTIES EXPERIENCING JAIL OVERCROWDING The Sentencing Project's staff and panel of experts are available to advise on methods of reducing jail overcrowding while improving the criminal justice system's response to crime. Public officials seeking more information about this service may call or write for a technical assistance brochure, or ask to speak with Malcolm Young, Executive Director of The Sentencing Project. THE SENTENCING PROJECT RELEASES YOUNG BLACK AMERICANS AND THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM: FIVE YEARS LATER In 1990, The Sentencing Project released a report that documented that one in four young black men was under criminal justice control. An updated and expanded report, released in October 1995, documents a worsening situation, with one in three young black men now under criminal justice jurisdiction. This report, and others in a series authored by Marc Mauer, The Sentencing Project's Assistant Director, are featured on the last page of this publications list. Campaign for an Effective Crime Policy Opens Up Debate on Crime and Justice -- National Conference, February 15-17, 1996 The Campaign is a non-partisan national coalition of elected officials, criminal justice professionals and community leaders giving voice to the need for change in criminal justice policies that have resulted in dramatically increased incarceration at little benefit and great cost. Since the Campaign was first organized in 1992 as a pre-election effort to depoliticize the crime issue, more than 1,000 political leaders, corrections chiefs, judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officials and others have signed the Campaign's core document, "A Call for a Rational Debate on Crime and Punishment." The Campaign is guided by an 11-member Steering Committee and a larger National Advisory Committee, and is coordinated by The Sentencing Project. In December 1994, 300 leaders from 30 states attended the Campaign's national conference on "Crime & Politics in the 1990s," held in the Washington, D.C. area. The Campaign will be sponsoring its second national conference, "Crime and Politics in the 1990s: Creating Demand for New Policies," on February 15-17, 1996 in Washington, D.C. For additional information call the Campaign's National Coordinator, Beth Carter, at (202) 628-1903. National Association of Sentencing Advocates (NASA) Fourth Annual Conference -- Charlotte, North Carolina, May 30-June 1, 1996. The activities of the National Association of Sentencing Advocates are coordinated by The Sentencing Project. NASA was founded in 1992 to provide training, support, and professional development to the growing numbers of advocates who prepare sentencing recommendations in criminal cases. NASA sponsors an annual training conference and provides a variety of services for sentencing advocates working in criminal cases and on death penalty mitigation. NASA's fourth national conference will be held in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Thursday, May 30 through Saturday, June 1, 1996. For more information, contact Gayle N.
