Getting Real About Public Safety: LA DEFENSA
Description
Does our criminal justice system work? Does it really provide for public safety? Or is it a broken, racist system that makes society’s troubles even worse? I talk with leaders of La Defensa, a nonprofit working to end our reliance on jails, cash bail, and a system that throws people away.
Guests:
Ivette Alé-Ferlito, executive director and co-founder, La Defensa
Megan Castillo, ReImagine LA Coalition Coordinator, La Defensa
