Law Apr 27, 2023

You are a state legislator who won election on a platform of alleviating the pressures of an
overburdened prison system for your constituents. Now is your opportunity to introduce
legislation that would work towards this goal. Name two sentencing policies that your
legislation would change, and why you think targeting those policies would help alleviate
overcrowding in prisons. Name a diversionary program you'd promote that would help with
this issue as well, and explain why.
