Impactful Policy Frameworks
First Step Act (2018)
The First Step Act (2018) is a bipartisan federal criminal justice reform bill that enacted changes to federal sentencing laws and expanded opportunities for inmates to earn early release credits.
This policy directly impacts EJI's work by reforming federal sentencing, potentially reducing mass incarceration and providing avenues for legal appeals and relief for some of their clients.
Charitable Giving Incentives (various, ongoing)
Federal tax policies related to charitable giving, such as the CARES Act (2020) which included temporary universal charitable deductions, or ongoing standard deduction increases, influence donor behavior.
Changes in charitable giving incentives can directly affect EJI's fundraising capacity by influencing individual and corporate donation levels.
State-level Criminal Justice Reform Legislation (ongoing)
Numerous states are continually passing legislation to reform their criminal justice systems, including changes to bail reform, sentencing guidelines, and police accountability measures.
These ongoing state-level reforms directly impact EJI's legal advocacy by changing the landscape of criminal law, potentially creating new opportunities for litigation and policy advocacy.
