#Top #Overlooked #Areas #Criminal #Justice #Reform
The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, and it’s not because people are committing crimes at higher rates, it’s because of our laws. Criminal justice reform is a hot issue, from sentencing reform to civil asset forfeiture, but there are other areas that deserve more attention and reform. Prosecutorial misconduct, bail reform, expungement, community supervision programs, and fines and fees are just a few overlooked areas where Molly Davis from the Libertas Institute offers real solutions for reform.

I think it’s hypocritical that a society punishes criminals in the harshest ways while leaving prosecutors and judges completely unaccountable when they violate people’s rights and oppress the economically disempowered in the most sadistic ways.
Yes, prosecutorial misconduct is also how lawyer can go to a client and say "for X amount of dollars, this all goes away". That's great if you have $, but otherwise, you go to prison for a long time.
Partially true. Sentencing reforms are not the panacea of solutions any more than harsh sentencing. Is society willing to address the irredeemable criminal? Incapacitation seems the only logical solution. How about a medical intervention? Progressively, the privacy of one's body is losing its traction in society. Mandatory castration and brain alteration, maybe? Science is narrowing in on the brain's relationship to criminal activity, after all. The desire in sentencing reforms to 'restore' criminals to a good situation where they can be productive and happy is noble. But what of the victim? The victims are left out of the criminal justice process except for bringing a case before the system and they are rarely a part of the conversation in criminal justice reform. It is a question that must be dealt with before sentencing reforms can ever get past the fear of crime. This is not just a contest between the virtues of retribution and rehabilitation. There are some things a rehabilitated criminal or restorative model of justice will not be able to accomplish… like bringing back someone's child.
I want to do what you do. I don't know what degree I need to get though in order to work in justice reform. I'm in school now and having trouble figuring out what I should be majoring in.
My life was ruined before I even turned 18 due to prosecutorial misconduct. Law students in Utah study my juvenile case summary to prevent my situation from reoccurring in the future.
Waw Molly, I am so proud of your work! It was an honour meeting you
First off You are assuming these eXcons are gonna participate in their future, Many don't give a fuck about the shit you're serving out here and if they do their looking for a angle so let not act like we the people don't care You can take a horse to water but you can't make em drink. Last how about you give these folks a place to live.Maybe Youre house?? At the very heart of the matter You have no idea who you're really dealing with.
My god, this is simplistic BS platitudes. I’m dumber for listening to it. It’s as egregious as the other side trying to treat all criminals the same. Strike one, Matt K.
I fully agree with this video's message, except for when it comes to violent crime because there are as many examples of judges, lawyers, and juries treating violent crimes like trivial things as there are examples of them obsessing on harsh punishment for harmless activities that should Not be crimes, to begin with.
I would like to reach out to Ms. Davis and/or Mr. Kibbe to learn more. I am a State Representative in Olympia, WA and a vice Ranking member on the Public Safety committee, which oversees criminal justice. Please reach out to me. Thank you.
