Intriguing sentencing items in the blogsphere

A tour around the blogsphere leads me to a number of interesting items on a range of sentencing and corrections issues:

• Thanks to Grits for Breakfast, I see here results from a poll indicating Texans want fewer non-violent offenders in prison.

• TalkLeft report here on the hearings of the new Commission on Safety and Abuse in America's prisons.

• How Appealing reports here on a series of interesting death penalty rulings coming from the Colorado Supreme Court.
