Black, Latino, and Tribal youth are facing disproportionately high rates of incarceration, with the Black-white disparity growing by more than 10% in 23 states, according to a report by The Sentencing Project.
A new study has found that 36 out of 87 in-custody deaths involving restraint in Maryland should have been classified as homicides but were instead labeled as accidental, natural or undetermined, highlighting systemic issues in how deaths in police custody are investigated nationwide.
The Sentencing Project’s report reveals that parole for individuals serving life sentences has been eroded, with nearly 97,000 people eligible for parole but facing delays, and recommends reforms to restore the meaning of life with parole and embrace a more just and rehabilitative approach to criminal justice.
