-
- Politics
We’re back again with more exploration of our criminal justice system. In the first part of this conversation, we looked at policing. In this episode, we’re focusing on prisons and prosecution. There has been a lot of attention given in the past several years to police reform but there has been less focus on how we can change prosecution and incarceration.
In this episode, you’ll hear from Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner on some of the approaches his office has taken to reduce systemic harm, as well as from other familiar voices such as criminologist Phillipe Bourgois, Aqeela Sherrills of Newark Community Street Team, journalist and professor Chenjerai Kumanyika, former Chief Public Defender Keir Bradford-Grey, and Kendra Van de Water of YEAH Philly.
