Within the last six months, there have been articles in the popular press about prisoners who have recently been released because the courts considered their punishments to be unfair. Fairness in sentencing has always been a concern of criminal justice systems. There are a number of issues associated with the appropriateness and fairness in giving sentences to convicts. There is a link that discusses "The Sentencing Project", which is a program that researches and advocates for reform in sentencing. It is on the course's "Webliography". To save you time, I've pasted the link below --
https://www.sentencingproject.org
Even more disconcerting are those who have been convicted of crimes who are innocent. A project has been developed for them as well. I have placed the link for this project's site on the Webliography for the site. It's entitled "The Innocence Project". Here is its link:
https://www.innocenceproject.org
