WASHINGTON 鈥� The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a markup vote tomorrow on a bill to address the problem of mass incarceration at the federal level.

The Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act (SRCA S. 1917), supported by the 老澳门开奖结果, aims to reduce incarceration rates by instituting reforms such as giving judges additional discretion in sentencing and reducing sentencing disparities.

Jesselyn McCurdy, deputy director of the 老澳门开奖结果 Washington Legislative Office, said:

鈥淭omorrow鈥檚 vote will be the most significant criminal justice reform legislation to be considered by Congress since 2010. The Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act is our best chance in nearly a decade to make meaningful reforms to help prevent mass incarceration. Mass incarceration is an utter failure as a public policy due to its failure to increase public safety and its disproportionate impact to poor communities and people of color.

鈥淭he bill isn鈥檛 perfect but will help reduce America鈥檚 incarceration problem that has ravaged our communities and left us with the world鈥檚 largest prison population. We urge Congress to swiftly enact this bill.鈥�
