This R&D provides resources on criminal justice reform in the United States. Over the last year, both parties have sought to work together on Capitol Hill to make significant reforms to the nation’s penal code, including an overhaul of mandatory sentencing guidelines and reducing sentences for nonviolent drug offenders. The goal of reformers is to reduce the nation’s large prison population, while also reducing the chances that offenders will not recommit crimes. Other advocates of reform have called for more mental healthcare for inmates.
