A momentous event happened in Oakland CA last week. The First Annual Conference of Formerly Incarcerated, Convicted People, and Families Movement brought together over 500 people from across America to discuss policies, priorities, and plans for ending mass incarceration...Among the participants was Essie Working Group, an organization of empowered women with incarcerated loved ones who fight to erase stigmatization and to end mass incarceration...Also, we hear a lot about the merits of community policing, but has it strayed from its original goals, and if so, how can we get it back on track?...And how did 17 jurisdictions' justice reinvestment strategies work out? Find the answer in this week's news.
