"The drop in homicide over the past four years is one of the most significant public safety developments in decades. Theories and claims abound, and sorting among them is essential if we’re going to sustain the progress." - CCJ President and CEO @abgelb
We always make room for fun on our Cohort trips, too. This year, we spent the day at a working gaucho ranch in Argentina—basically Argentine cowboys. Horses, food, tradition, and a lot of laughs. What a blast. 🇦🇷🐎 Thanks @glennEmartin for the finger of love :-) @ARrow4Justice
Final prison: Olmos. Once notorious for extreme violence, it now has substantial programming.
But overcrowding is staggering—cells built for 4 holding 12–14.
Still, we saw real effort: workshops, electrical training, and programs focused on life after prison. @ARrow4Justice
We sat down with judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys in Argentina:
-They spoke incredibly freely.
-They largely agreed on the solutions—and human dignity was at the center of them.
That kind of conversation is rare in the U.S.
@ARrow4Justice
Two prison visits in Junín, Argentina: real commitment to rehabilitation and substantial programming, but overcrowding and staffing shortages create a major gap between policy and reality. European ideas, without European resources.
And we got FRESH donuts! 🍩 @ARrow4Justice

Thrilled to share that Guilt by Parenthood has found a home with the Yale Law Journal. This piece examines parental liability and parental rights, and how they are connected by a shared logic that harms children and families. Thank you to those who helped!

This is the joy you and your team sparked last week, Ms. @AliceMarieFree. True leadership is born in the quiet battles no one sees, and you have met every one of them with grace and strength. Thank you for your unwavering leadership and relentless tenacity. ✨
Happy #MLKDay

We think this is an important issue for conservatives to weigh in on:
"For conservatives, supporting proportional sentencing is not leniency — it is a principled approach to a justice system tempered by responsibility and accountability.” @RachelWrightROC @tolmanbrett

For those in the advocacy space, this should be a must read, regardless of the subject of the legislation. It reflects what my colleagues at @UnifyUSOfficial have always done. Develop trust and mutual respect. Build bridges. Establish durable coations. – at Belle Haven, VA
12 states + D.C. have passed Clean Slate laws. Pennsylvania & Utah led the way, but how did they win big for #SecondChances? A new study, funded by CSI & published in Criminology & Public Policy, reveals their path & lessons for other states.
