Read Advocacy Material: Iowa House Approves Examination of Racial/Ethnic Impact of Sentencing Changes

By The Sentencing Project

ADVERTISEMENTS
By a 99-0 vote, Iowa’s House passed legislation that requires lawmakers to review, prior to approval, the effect new sentencing policies may have on minority communities. The Des Moines Register credits a report by The Sentencing Project, which found Iowa incarcerates blacks at a rate 13 times that of whites, for helping instigate the legislative response.  The bill, House File 2393, now heads to the Senate.
