On July 29, senior staff of the Pew Charitable Trusts gave their first presentation focusing on data from Maryland’s prison system to the Justice Reinvestment Coordinating Council, created in the 2015 legislative session.
The Council is charged with developing “a statewide framework of sentencing and corrections policies to further reduce the State’s incarcerated population, reduce spending on corrections, and reinvest in strategies to increase public safety and reduce recidivism.”
