Deep Dive: Criminal Justice and Prison Reform

Setup

Since 1980, the number of people incarcerated in the United States has more than quadrupled; the nation now has the largest prison population in the world.

Our Deep Dive starts with an exploration of the fascinating research on criminal justice with key researchers, practitioners, and reformers. We also offer insights to a bipartisan effort to reform our prison system nationally. What does our prison system look like today? What needs to change — and why?
