The stats don’t lie. Our nation’s criminal justice apparatus is broken. It disproportionately consumes Black lives and, left unchecked, will rob generations of Black families of a viable future. Past efforts at reform have fallen short of creating an equitable system, but the promise of change has never been closer. Leading figures in criminal justice and social advocacy discuss a possible “new narrative” that reframes the issues at the heart of this crisis and transforms racial bias in policing and sentencing.
