Family violence is a legitimate problem in Connecticut and throughout the country, and it requires real, meaningful solutions that truly increase safety and community health. Creating real public safety requires investing in programs and services that truly prevent and end violence at its root, rather than putting that money into the expensive, ineffective, and violent system of ending mass incarceration. The legislature will not achieve that kind of progress if it expands sentences.
