The National Conference of State Legislatures has published an overview of “Significant State Sentencing and Corrections Legislation in 2009”.

Though brief, this snapshot of sentencing reform across the nation points to increasing efforts at prison and jail reform. It’s also an excellent place to begin a review of reentry court legislation nationwide.
