Register for "Alternatives to Incarceration: Reducing Mass Incarceration in Federal Court"

In this post last week, I noted the great weekly panel series for the month of may titled "The Role of the U.S. Sentencing Commission in Decarceration: First Step Act and Beyond."  This series has been put together by the Center for Justice and Human Dignity, a nonprofit organization whose mission is explained here in terms of seeking  "to reduce prison incarceration in the United States while improving conditions for those imprisoned and working inside."

This panel series is to run every Tuesdays at 12noon ET from May 3 through May 24, which means the first panel is scheduled taking place this coming Tuesday, May 3rd.  This first panel is titled " "Alternatives to Incarceration: Reducing Mass Incarceration in Federal Court," which means the speakers will focus on incarceration alternatives in the federal courts and the impact of the US Sentencing Commission in their applicability.  Everyone can and should register to attend next week's session or the entire series here.  The speakers for all the panels are terrific, and here are the folks participating in this first panel:

Judge Dolly M. Gee, United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Central District of California, CASA Program

Raul Ayala, Deputy Federal Public Defender at Office of the Federal Public Defender, CASA Program

Judge Leo Sorokin, District Court Judge, District of Massachusetts, RISE Program

Chris Dozier, NAPSA Federal Director, Retired Chief U.S. Pretrial Services Officer

And here is a run-down of the future panels:
