Join Justin Brooks and Ben Austen as they discuss their newest books on the state of the criminal justice system, the flaws and impacts of our carceral system, and potential avenues for reform. Brooks’ work You Might Go to Prison, Even Though You’re Innocent is a shocking revelation of the ways ordinary and innocent people are wrongfully convicted and waste precious time in our nation’s prisons. Austen’s work Correction: Parole, Prison, and the Possibility of Change, told through the lens of the parole process, explores why we punish through imprisonment and what we can improve as a country in our corrections system.
