“The number of people sentenced to prison in Cook County dropped by nearly one-fifth last year according to a new report that analyzes the prosecution practices and case settlements under State’s Attorney Kim Foxx. The report was published Tuesday by a group of “community partners” including The People’s Lobby and Reclaim Chicago – two local organizations that publicly supported Foxx during her 2016 election campaign – and the Chicago Appleseed Fund for Justice, an advocacy organization aimed at improving the court system.“
