Frequently, when I come across interesting criminal justice news pieces or commentary while working on other matters, I will email the link to myself with the hope I will find time later to blog about the item. This week seemed to lead to an especially large number of these items in my in-box, and so I will blogging about them all through this round up.
A few of these pieces are news accounts of notable court rulings, but most are commentary. And everyone on of these pieces could justify its own post, which is my way of saying folks should check them all out. So, in no particular order:
By Seth Mayer, "What Criminal Justice Reformers Can Learn from the Green New Deal"
By Adureh Onyekwere and Ames Grawert, "Welcome To The Age Of Bipartisan Criminal Justice Reform"
By Kara Gotsch, "Criminal justice includes food security — we can't ban the social safety net"
By John Pfaff, "Five myths about prisons"
By David Nathan, Joycelyn Elders and Bryon Adinoff, "21st Century Reefer Madness"
By Andrew Wolfson, "A prosecutor ridiculed a couple's patron saint. So a court reversed their drug convictions."
By John Ellement, "SJC orders release of Wayne Chapman, convicted child rapist"
By Tamara Gilkes Borr, "How the War on Drugs Kept Black Men Out of College"
By Doyle Murphy, "St. Louis’ Justice System Grapples Daily with an Impossible Question: What Punishment Fits the Crime?"
