Excellent piece about the potential harms of incarcerating people in El Salvador.
My new piece with my Council on Criminal Justice colleague Khalil A. Cumberbatch makes the case that placing Americans in El Salvador prisons would compromise constitutional rights and recidivism reduction.

While the U.S. criminal justice system is far from perfect, addressing its shortcomings requires reform, not abdication of responsibility.

A great reminder about the promise of #DrugCourts by Steve Belenko. This model can reduce substance use and crime, improve lives and save money. But we need to continue to do better in terms of access, treatment, and the use of EBP.

Vital City | Making the Most of Drug Court
Research suggests that drug courts are effective at reducing crime and incarceration. So why aren’t they universally embraced by the criminal justice reform movement?

Horrifying news out of Iowa.
Iowa’s Republican governor signed into law on Friday a measure that ends state civil rights protections for transgender people, a move that LGBTQ rights advocates said made the state the first to eliminate such broad and specific protections for transgender people.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings.
But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

Older people now make up 5x as much of the prison population as they did three decades ago.
Turning prisons into “makeshift nursing homes” is one of the nation’s most wasteful, morally bankrupt experiments to date. And it certainly doesn’t make our communities safer.

My former mother-in-law gave me an umbrella when I lived in Las Vegas. 😂
What's the most passive-aggressive gift you ever got?
For me, it's a tie between the time my mom came to visit and rearranged everything in my kitchen and the time my kid's kindergarten teacher mailed a thanks-for-a-great-year note to our kid with a handful of loose glitter inside.
