    S3 E1 | Stanford Professor Keith Humphreys on the Decline in Mass Incarceration in the U.S. and Will It Continue? Or Is It Going Back Up?

    Ronald Simpson-Bey, Executive Vice President of Strategic Partnerships for JustLeadershipUSA (JLUSA), and Zach Ruppel, Policy Analyst for JLUSA, sat down recently with Stanford Professor Keith Humphreys to discuss his groundbreaking research published in The Atlantic magazine earlier this year entitled “America’s Incarceration Rate Is About to Fall Off a Cliff.” They ask him about what he’s seeing now in terms of trends and whether he predicts this decline will continue or if recent increases in immigration detention are reversing the trend. He also speaks about his work in addiction policy and drug policy reform and the intersections with mass incarceration and what his top priority would be for the current administration. Professor Humphreys is is currently the Esther Ting Memorial Professor at Stanford University, a Senior Research Career Scientist in the Veterans Health Administration, and an Honorary Professor at the Institute of Psychiatry, at King's College, London. He also founded and currently co-directs the Stanford Network on Addiction Policy. He has advised multiple international administrations on addiction policy, and won awards for his educational public policy and health books regarding addiction.  He is the Deputy Editor in Chief for the journal entitled Addiction, and he’s also the author of the book Addiction: A Very Short Introduction from Oxford University Press. Thank you to Professor Humphreys for joining us on the JustUs Speaks Podcast!
