Create centralized criminal-sentencing database to reduce mass incarceration in Ohio: Michael P. Don

Thank you Justice Donnelly & Judge Headen for drawing attention to this incredibly important topic.

Disparities in sentencing can vary greatly from courtroom to courtroom within our own Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, let alone the state as a whole.

A centralized criminal sentencing database is a huge step to ending mass incarceration and ensuring that all defendants are sentenced in a similar manner, regardless of who presided over their case.
