Flipboard<p>In New Jersey, there’s no legal mechanism for judges to take into account whether a defendant suffered abuse that may have been a factor in their committing a crime. Seventy-two percent of first-time offenders imprisoned for a violent crime in the state’s women’s prison were abused by their victim. While Governor Phil Murphy has granted clemency to some people, The ACLU of New Jersey and other groups are now advocating for a legislative fix. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://journa.host/@bolts" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bolts</span></a></span> takes a look at the issue. </p><p><a href="https://boltsmag.org/new-jersey-clemency-and-sentencing-for-survivors-of-abuse/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">boltsmag.org/new-jersey-clemen</span><span class="invisible">cy-and-sentencing-for-survivors-of-abuse/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Incarceration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Incarceration</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Prison</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/PrisonReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrisonReform</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Clemency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Clemency</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Law</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewJersey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewJersey</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newstodon</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewstodonFriday</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FollowFriday</span></a></p>
