Essential Reading (or listening)
One of my favorite writers on criminal justice issues is James Forman, Jr. His book "Locking Up Our Own" is one of the most affecting I have read in the last few years. I remember giving a talk at Yale Law a few years ago and seeing him in the back of the room, and thinking "better step it up!"
If you want to get an idea of his thinking, I recommend either listening to this podcast discussion with Ezra Klein or reading the transcript, both available here.
