Lots more notable weekend reading

Before the long holiday weekend, I flagged in this post (too) many stories and commentaries worth a read.  A subsequent work week and weekend, though shorter, still produced another long list of pieces criminal justice fans might want to check out:

From The Hill, "Biden under pressure to pick new breed of federal prosecutors"

From National Review, "Prison Reform Takes Center Stage at CPAC"

From the New York Times, "How Should We Do Drugs Now?"

From the New York Times, "The Real Toll From Prison Covid Cases May Be Higher Than Reported"

From Reason, "He Sold $20 Worth of Drugs. Prosecutors Want Him in Jail for Almost 10 Years—and More if He Refuses the Plea Deal."

From Slate, "It’s Time for a New Crime Bill"

From Slate, "Joe Biden Is Doing Nothing to Prevent Another Federal Execution Spree"

From The Trace, "Illinois Has a Program to Compensate Victims of Violent Crimes. Few Applicants Receive Funds."
