Bill overview
The Smart Sentencing Adjustments Act aims to reduce prison populations and recidivism by providing grants to states. States can apply for planning grants to develop strategies for reducing incarceration and implementation grants to put those strategies into action. The grants encourage states to implement changes like reducing mandatory minimums, expanding early release programs, and addressing racial disparities in sentencing. Ultimately, the bill seeks to create more effective and equitable criminal justice systems.
