During these three weeks we will examine the role of criminal justice authorities, such as prosecutors, judges, police, parole board and legislators in setting up policies and practices that promote a "tough on crime" culture that promotes incarceration and increases recidivism. We welcome all community members interested in understanding how the criminal justice system could change for the better to provide healing, equity and reduction in incarceration.
