The Sentencing Project: Interviewee Nicole D. Porter, Director of Advocacy.
I would like to give a special thanks to Nicole D. Porter for conducting a phone interview with me. She is the Director of Advocacy on The Sentencing Project’s priorities to reform the Criminal Justice System. She works for The Sentencing Project which is an organization in Washington D.C. that works to reduce the racial disparities in the Criminal Justice System, as well as a variety of other race, gender, and creed related issues.
About the Sentencing Project, mission statement,etc:
"Established in 1986, The Sentencing Project works for a fair and effective U.S. criminal justice system by promoting reforms in sentencing policy, addressing unjust racial disparities and practices, and advocating for alternatives to incarceration..."
"...As a result of The Sentencing Project's research, publications and advocacy, many people know that this country is the world's leader in incarceration, that one in three young black men is under control of the criminal justice system, that five million Americans can't vote because of felony convictions, and that thousands of women and children have lost welfare, education and housing benefits as the result of convictions for minor drug offenses. The Sentencing Project is dedicated to changing the way Americans think about crime and punishment."
The Sentencing Project has helped me significantly in my research, by publishing manuals that specifically focus on the racial disparities in the Criminal Justice System, and how to address them as issues. To contact them to see what you could do to help, either call them at 202-628-0871 or email them: [email protected]
