Alert from the Criminal Justice Policy Commission's action alert on H 4457.
(Citizen's Review of MA Department of Corrections.)

Neither the Citizen Review Board nor the attempt at an inspector general for the DOC made it into the final budget. Therefore, urging the release of H4457 from the Committee on the Third Reading, Chair Robert DeLeo, (phone 617-722-2410), for consideration on the House floor is the remaining option for a citizen review board for this legislative session. Calls or letters to Rep. DeLeo will help him understand the importance of this legislation.
