As public defenders, we usually don't get the credit we are due for lowering recidivism. It's a tough conversation, but one we need to have, and I'm glad @Law360 gave me the chance to lay out an argument. law360.com/articles/1604517

Well-Equipped Public Defenders Can Help Reduce Recidivism - Law360

Public defenders are uniquely positioned to connect clients with essential services that are proven to address the root drivers of crime, thus reducing recidivism and promoting public safety — but...

After 60 years, let's finally commit to fulfilling @Gideons_Promise.

On March 16, 2023, @SenBooker introduced the Providing a Quality Defense Act and the Sentencing Commission Improvements Act to the Senate floor. These bills aim to improve access to counsel and increase representation of public defenders within the criminal legal system. 💙

If we believe in a fair, rational and humane justice system, let’s respect public defenders. Well done @now_expand @Lmonet & April Frazier Camara usatoday.com/story/opinion/2…

'Right to an attorney' only goes so far. Our war on crime leaves injustice in its wake.

Public defenders provide a vital check on governmental abuse of power and corruption, as well as on law enforcement and prosecutor misconduct.
