4 Saturday, October 15, 2016 Time Event/Topic Speaker Program Overview 8:30 AM 9:00 AM CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST 9:00 AM 10:00 AM Criminal Program Magistrate Judge Paul Warner (Utah) Kathy Nester, Federal Defender (Utah) Rafael Gonzalez, First Assistant, United States Attorney s Office In 2013, the Justice Department launched a comprehensive review of the criminal justice system in order to identify reforms that would ensure federal laws are enforced more fairly and in an era of reduced budgets more efficiently. Among the Smart on Crime five goals was bolstering prevention and reentry efforts to deter crime and reduce recidivism. While the aggressive enforcement of federal criminal statutes has its place, we cannot prosecute our way to becoming a safer nation. The United States today has the highest rate of incarceration of any nation in the world, and the nationwide cost to state and federal budgets was $80 billion in 2010 alone. To be effective, federal efforts must also focus on prevention and reentry and use evidence-based strategies, to curb the disturbing rates of recidivism by those reentering our communities. These efforts include partnerships with all of the stakeholders in the federal criminal justice system: the courts, probation, and the federal defender. Panelists will discuss their experience with specialty and re-entry courts in Idaho and Utah.
