Published purpose
The Sentencing and Parole Project (SPP) addresses systemic racism in the criminal justice system. In particular, the misunderstanding of racialized offenders in criminal sentencing and parole that is contributing to dire problems such as the over-incarceration of Black people and more harsh treatment while in custody. The differential treatment of Black people impacts the outcome of their rehabilitation and subsequent involvement with the criminal justice system. SPP will provide professional development opportunities with respect to IRCAs for members of the legal profession.
