Federal criminal sentencing policy now, more than ever, is the subject of substantial public debate. Incarceration rates are up and violent crime rates are down – suggesting that our incarceration policies are a success.

Meanwhile, Congress and the Courts are in a tug-of-war over which branch controls sentencing policy. Join us for an informative debate on the status of federal criminal sentencing policy.I have yet to view the program, so I have no comments of my own to add.
