S.B. 307, An Act Concerning Prosecutorial Accountability and Priority Given to Cases Prosecuted

State's Attorneys are among the most powerful but least accountable actors in the criminal legal system. If Senate Bill 307 is passed, Connecticut will have more transparent prosecution with meaningful opportunities for both oversight and public input.

State's Attorneys are among the most powerful but least accountable actors in the criminal legal system. If Senate Bill 307 is passed, Connecticut will have more transparent prosecution with meaningful opportunities for both oversight and public input. The sooner it is passed, the sooner we may move away from the mass incarceration paradigm and into the world of building safe and healthy communities.

Smart Justice is advocating for S.B. 307 to pass, because we must start holding State's Attorneys to common sense accountability systems.
