Impartial

In 2024, major criminal justice reforms were enacted. California voters passed Proposition 36, increasing penalties for certain drug and theft offenses. Mexico implemented judicial reform with popular election of judges to address corruption and enhance transparency. The US Federal Sentencing Commission amended guidelines to promote fairness and consistency. These changes aim to address disparities and update policies to reflect contemporary understandings of justice. U.S. #nonprofit #reforms #criminaljustice

Let's carry forward the momentum of 2024 and make 2025 count towards a more equitable justice system. Impartial made remarkable strides this year with 3 criminal justice video games, collaborating with officials for data collection, and creating a captivating prison artwork experience with a local artist.
