It begins Tuesday (Jan. 17) at 9 a.m. in Room 309, when the Justice Reinvestment working group — police, judges, prosecutors, defenders, public safety, reform advocates — releases a report with recommendations to reform the state’s criminal justice system.

Then, at 12:30 p.m. in the ceremony room on the fifth floor, the Governor’s Office, Justice Department, Public Safety Department, lawmakers and the Council of State Governments Justice Center gather to discuss the report and how the state “can utilize the most up-to-date strategies in criminal justice while using existing funding and resources.”
