ACLU Blueprint for Smart Justice Milwaukee Launch

The Smart Justice Blueprint will launch in Milwaukee on Tuesday, April, 30 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at Maurf Neighborhood Youth Center, 2110 W Hampton Ave . This event will include a variety of experts, including Sean Wilson, ACLU of Wisconsin Smart Justice Organizer.

The Smart Justice 50-State Blueprint is the first-ever analysis of its kind and will serve as a tool for activists, advocates and policymakers to push for transformational change to the criminal justice system.

This Blueprint is the result of a multi-year partnership between the ACLU and the Urban Institute to develop actionable policy options for Wisconsin that capture the nuance of local laws and sentencing practices.
