Nicole D. Porter, senior director of advocacy with The Sentencing Project (Washington, D.C.), discussed efforts around the country to reduce the nation's prison population as well as the current political climate impacting the incarceration rate.
We also awarded the second annual Wisconsin Justice Initiative "Advocate for Justice" award to Parker White and Evan Bondoc of the Foley & Lardner law firm. White and Bondoc represented WJI pro bono in its 2024 rule petition to improve the court rule on municipal court interpreters.
