Rally AGAINST 3-STRIKES Legislation
Black Low and Clean Slate Committee are holding a joint press conference and educational forum on the critical importance of alternatives to incarceration and community reintegration.
…The proposed 3-strikes legislation is based on the Washington state model. According to the Sentencing Cuidelines Commission in Washington, although the law was intended to lock up the stte’s worst criminals, results show that blacks are given life sentences at a much higher rate than whites. he Sentencing Guidelines Commission in Washington report shows that blacks make up 3% of the state population, but 37% of the state’s three strike lifers.
