The view from the back wall of my office. On this date 35 years ago, Nelson Mandela was released from prison. If he could survive 27 years in an Apartheid prison and go on to bring peace, our work is possible, too.

If you want to change the dynamics of criminal justice politics, track the future offending histories of the January 6th conspirators that Trump recently pardoned. It would be interesting to watch Democrats run a soft on crime campaign against Republicans, who supported the pardons.
