New Washington DC law provides review opportunities!
Legislation recently passed by the DC Council will provide review opportunities to hundreds of people sentenced as children in Washington, DC, to extreme prison terms. The Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth worked closely with the Council and a coalition of local organizations to pass this legislation.
Because the District of Columbia does not maintain a prison system, these individuals are serving in federal facilities throughout the country. Incarcerated individuals must undertake specific actions in order to take advantage of this review opportunity.
