Episode 2 — Evidence-based sentencing

Update: 2017-04-18

Description

Former California Supreme Court Judge, The Honourable Peggy Fulton Hora explores the topic of being smart on crime with evidence-based sentencing focusing on drug courts.

She argues what doesn’t work - except for the amount of time they’re actually in custody - is incarceration. She says putting someone in prison keeps them isolated for that small amount of time, and then unless they’re given a life sentence they’re getting out and coming back to our communities, and usually not for the better.
