Just a week's worth of good reads from The Appeal

By Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg, "Unless Biden Acts, Thousands Could Go Back To Federal Prison: A Department Of Justice Memo From January Could Have A Devastating Effect On Many Federal Prisoners Who Have Been Released On Home Confinement."

By Veronica Riccobene, "Cuomo Concedes On Two Big Wins For Criminal Justice Reform: The Embattled New York Governor, Who Advocates Describe As A Longtime Impediment To Reform, Signed Bills To Legalize Marijuana And Considerably Restrict Solitary Confinement In The State."

By Molly Greene, "States Should Abolish “Felony Murder” Laws: A Person Who Didn’t Commit Murder Shouldn’t Be Charged With It—But Felony Murder Laws Allow Prosecutors To Do Just That. States Should Repeal These Draconian And Unjust Laws."

By Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg, "D.A.s Are Asking Biden To End The Death Penalty. But Some Are Still Wielding It Themselves: Prosecutors Who Have Championed Criminal Justice Reforms Are Still Seeking Death Sentences, Opposing Appeals, And, In Some Cases, Have Even Petitioned For Execution Dates."
