Today, Judge Carlton W. Reeves, Chair of the U.S. Sentencing Commission, announced the appointment of nine individuals to serve on the newly established Sentence Impact Advisory Group (SIAG). Advisory groups provide Commissioners with important perspectives that help them in policy making and ensure fairness in federal sentencing. The newly appointed SIAG members include those individuals who have been impacted by federal sentencing or have family members that have been.
Judge Reeves said, “I am very grateful to those who have accepted this appointment to SIAG and thank them for their willingness to serve. As the Commission works to fulfill our mission of reviewing and revising federal Sentencing Guidelines, SIAG will lend an important voice alongside our existing advisory groups for victims, probation officers, defense practitioners, and tribal issues."
New SIAG members are as follows:
Dr. Carl Reddix, Chair
JC Anderson
Adam Clausen
Ronald Evans
Beth McRavion
Shaneva McReynolds
David Safavian
Bahiya Shakur
