The Color of Justice | Panel 2: Criminal Sentencing

The second panel of the Color of Justice Virtual Symposium was moderated by Judge Laurel Beatty Blunt, Tenth Court of Appeals for the State of Ohio. The panel explored how Ohio courts are implementing science and best practices to reduce over-incarceration and provide access to justice for all who enter the legal system, while keeping communities safe.

“The Color of Justice Symposium will reveal how critical it is for us to identify and challenge racism,” said Judge David A. Hejmanowski, OSBF President. “I appreciate the thoughtful analysis and practical advice offered from each of our policy leaders. Understanding how these challenges impact justice outcomes is a critical step in creating a more just legal system.”

I truly wish the parole board felt this way, they definitely take advantage of post release control! My spouse is on his second 9 months sentence still with absolutely no help with his diagnosed PTSD he obtained during his 5 years sentence due to his addiction. Single income mom doing her best why my no new crime husband continues to be held.
