Exciting agenda for "Rewriting the Sentence Summit on Alternatives to Incarceration"

In this post a few weeks ago, I flagged this great event, titled ""Rewriting the Sentence Summit on Alternatives to Incarceration," taking place next month in New York City hosted by Columbia University and The Aleph Institute at Columbia Law School.  In my prior post, I spotlighted the many great speakers scheduled to be at the event (as detailed at this link), and noted that the event website provides this overview

I now see that this link provides the detailed schedule for all the panels, and I think sentencing fans will find interesting and important every one of the planned panels.  Here are just a few panel titles from the detailed agenda to whet appetites (click through to see all the big names under each panel title):

A New Wave of Prosecutorial Thinking: Views of Recently Elected District Attorneys

A Federal Legislative Look: The First Step Act, and the Next Steps

Risk Assessment: A Feature or a Bug? Perspectives on A Complex Debate

Sentencing Second Chances: Addressing Excessive Sentencing With Escape Valves

The Role of Mercy and Dignity in Criminal Justice: From Restoration to Clemency
