Office of the Alternate Defense Counsel Blog

Last month, after 13 years, the last of 49 Colorado children unconstitutionally sentenced to life without parole have been resentenced, and a milestone ADC project central to its core values and mission has come to an end.  And the end, as of today, 23 kids who were told they'd die in prison are home, and the others either have mandatory release dates or parole eligibility dates.     

We are very excited to announce that the 4^th Edition of the Colorado Juvenile Defense Manual is here!  As always, CJDC will sell copies of the Manual to recoup the expenses of producing this update.  This year, the Manual is free to OADC contractors!  It is available in OADC’s e-library in the juvenile section.
