OM DENNE EPISODE
Pennsylvania's approach to criminal justice over recent decades has been a failure that has fueled mass incarceration. In the commonwealth and around the country, the ACLU has prioritized reform, launching the Campaign for Smart Justice, to reduce the prisons and jails population by 50 percent and combat racial disparities in the criminal justice system.
In this episode, we hear from Jondhi Harrell of The Center for Returning Citizens and Terrell Thomas, senior field organizer for the ACLU-PA's Campaign for Smart Justice. In 2009, Jondhi founded TCRC to aid people after they leave prison. Since then, TCRC has also become a leading advocate for policy reform.
