National Association of Sentencing Advocates

The National Association of Sentencing Advocates (NASA) is an organization focused on improving the fairness of sentencing in the criminal justice system. It supports professionals—like advocates, attorneys, and social workers—who work to provide judges with comprehensive information about defendants’ backgrounds and circumstances. This helps ensure that sentences are not only just but also consider individual situations, potentially leading to more rehabilitative outcomes. NASA promotes best practices, education, and collaboration among advocates to enhance their effectiveness in representing clients during sentencing phases.
