New Brochure on Changes to Rockefeller Drug Laws Now Available
August 17, 2011
The Legal Action Center is pleased to announce the publication of its newest brochure, “Changes to the Rockefeller Drug Laws and What They Mean for You.” This guide explains the 2004, 2005 and 2009 amendments to the Rockefeller Drug Laws, including:
- the judicial diversion program that gives judges the authority to divert eligible individuals from prison into community-based treatment;
- the provision that allow certain convictions to be “conditionally sealed”; and
- the non-jail/prison sentencing options available to judges.
Many thanks to the Bernard F. and Alva B. Gimbel Foundation for its support of this work.
