CLEARINGHOUSE
For too long, the debate surrounding criminal justice reform has been dominated by divisive and unproductive debate between those seemingly "soft" and "tough" on crime. The Constitution Project has been uniquely successful in finding bipartisan consensus among all criminal justice stakeholders in the past, and has expanded these efforts through the development of its Clearinghouse of New Voices on Criminal Justice Reform.
Our Clearinghouse of New Voices on Criminal Justice Reform is a database of individuals who support criminal justice reforms, but who have traditionally been seen as "unlikely allies" for reform--and thus as particularly persuasive and influential. These unlikely allies include former judges, prosecutors, police officers, corrections officers, and conservatives. We promote these individuals' voices in criminal justice reform campaigns on the federal and state levels.
These voices are instrumental in promoting consensus and in persuading policymakers to choose a different course than the divisive and counter-productive debates of the past. For more information about the Clearinghouse, please contact Mary Schmid, mschmid@constitutionproject.org. |
