Latest From ACLU of Washington

If Washington state were a country, it would have the sixth highest incarceration rate in the world. For decades, Washington state has been overly reliant on life and long sentences. Yet, instead of keeping people safe, these sentences have devastated marginalized communities. In collaboration with formerly and currently incarcerated allies, the ACLU-WA seeks to advance developmentally appropriate, evidence-based sentencing laws that promote public safety and lead with racial justice.
