Thanks for this, very informative
Race absolutely should never be taken into account in any sentencing model, it is irrelevant, for that reason alone it needs updating
Thinking about this more, I think this model is probably not used in sentencing. It's under the Department of Corrections, so it's probably more likely to be used when deciding who should be more closely monitored and decisions like that. It's probably not used by judges, though it's possible Corrections may bring the model to court to argue their case.
