As Long As We're Fixing Criminal Sentencing . . .

This article from Governing would be interesting enough in most times - it talks about the movement in the states towards alternatives to incarceration from criminal sentences, a movement being driven by Republicans - but it particularly interesting in the wake of Blakely. While it's good to see movement in this area, it's a shame that it was motivated (at least initially) by the bottom line rather than considerations of justice.
