US Senate Judiciary Committee hearing set on “Five Years of the First Step Act: Reimagining Rehabilitation and Protecting Public Safety”

By Douglas Berman

I was pleased to discover today that the US Senate Judiciary Committee has announced it will have a full committee hearing next week on this topic: “Five Years of the First Step Act: Reimagining Rehabilitation and Protecting Public Safety.”  This official site reports the hearing will be Wednesday, January 17th, 2024, at 10:00am EST, and that site also will stream the event live.

I presume we will find out about the invited witnesses next week, and I am looking forward to seeing both written and live testimony in the days ahead.
