Rounding up some notable recent sentencing and prison pieces
A couple of busy weeks has meant I have not had time to flag some newsworthy and noteworthy sentencing and prison stories. So, making up for lost time, here is a small (and incomplete) round up of some stories catching my eye:
From Alaska News Source, “Resigned Alaska federal judge had conflict of interest in 23 criminal cases, federal prosecutors say“
From the Daily Caller, “‘Could Very Well Be A Death Sentence’: Jonathan Turley Says Bob Menendez Faces Long Prison Stay After Conviction“
From The Hill, “FCC votes to lower call rates for incarcerated people“
From the Los Angees Times, “Can chess games and toilet paper change prison culture? Inside San Quentin’s big experiment“
From Mother Jones, “Has Prison Programming Recovered from Covid?“
From NPR, “Women don’t have equal access to college in prison. Here’s why“
From the Tampa Bay Times, “DeSantis increased executions during his campaign. Then he slowed down.“
