Jonathan Sharp, Masters in Criminal Justice, Rowan University, draws on his personal experiences and extensive analytics research to discuss prisoner reentry, racial disparities in the prison system, and what needs to change.
“Prisoner Reentry” refers to the transition of offenders from prisons or jails back into the community. Over 640,000 people are released from state and federal prisons each years, but more than half are unable to find jobs and more than 3/4 are re-arrested within 3-5 years of release. They remain “stuck in the system”, despite having served their sentence.
Welcome to the final installment of our conversation with NJ attorney, James Leonard. In this episode he and Meg wrap up their reminiscing. This is a great conversation with a focus on the power of brevity & brilliance that emerges after years of courtroom experience. If you don't know attorney, Edward P.
