Smarten Up on Crime

That's the message to legislators, the President, state governors -- anyone who will listen -- in the Smart on Crime website launched today.

The site is www.besmartoncrime.org, and the concept is simple. Two years ago, criminal justice reform experts (including FAMM) got together and asked, "What should the new President do to improve the justice system?"  The answers were compiled at this site. Two years later, we're back.  The new site looks at what the Obama Administration has -- and hasn't -- achieved and offers recommendations for better, smarter policies.

FAMM chipped in on the Federal Sentencing, Prisons, and Pardon Power & Executive Clemency sections.

Read, share with friends, and let us know your thoughts:  What would you tell President Obama to change in our criminal justice and sentencing systems?
