How's your morning?

Why prison isn't the answer—even for violent crimes.

Eve Hanan is Associate Dean for Faculty Development and Research, UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law. Her law review article "Terror and Tenderness in Criminal Law" blew my mind and made me scramble to put it back together. Eve was a guest on Just Justice, where we had a chance to talk about it.

This weekend, why not listen to the newest episode of Just Justice. (Note: this episode has graphic descriptions of abuse). Alex Bailey from the Sentencing Project shares how a group of motivated women can move mountains or, in this case, the entire OK govt to help women impacted by DV.

I'm writing holiday cards for people who are incarcerated through Books Behind Bars NJ. It's a way to tell people in prison that they are not forgotten. It's small things that make our world a better place. There is still time if you want to join me!
