James Forman Jr. and Marc Mauer on reducing incarceration
Yale Law Professor James Forman Jr. (pictured at left) and the Sentencing Project's Marc Mauer discuss initiatives to reduce American incarceration rates. A number of groups are now calling for a 50% reduction in the prison population. Jumping off from the life and imprisonment of Herman Wallace, this discussion will explore what would it take to accomplish that: a change in drug policy, sentencing, prevention, crime control, the political environment, etc? And what would be the implications of such a reduction impact on public safety, racial disparity in incarceration, fiscal impact?
