More On the Square One Project
You can visit the official Square One Project website or read many of the popular press articles about the initiative. One of my previous guests, Bruce Western, is one of the founders of the project.
I also mentioned the “Reimagining Justice” report by the Vera Institute of Justice which has been followed up with them taking a large group to Germany and other countries where prison is done quite differently than it is here in the United States.
