What is Rejecting Racial Bias in PA Sentencing about?
Nyssa Taylor of the ACLU of Pennsylvania testified against the proposed sentencing risk assessment tool, arguing it perpetuates racial disparities in the criminal justice system. The current version replaces required pre-sentence investigation reports with racially biased RNR reports, which are not suitable for sentencing. Taylor urges the Commission to reject the tool to avoid embedding racial bias in sentencing procedures.
