Send us a textJustice reform addresses structural issues in criminal justice systems such as racial profiling, police brutality, overcriminalization, mass incarceration and recidivism.Prison reform is the attempt to improve conditions inside prisons, improve the effectiveness of a penal system, or implement alternatives to incarceration. We all have some family or friends that this has affected in one way or another. As citizens we must know our rights and where we stand. I do believe if you do the crime than of course you must do the time.  Most of the time African Americans are the ones that are sentenced to more time in jail or prison then any other race.After talking with Linda and Kari we learned that Virginia does not have parole as of 1995 and the jury in these cases were not given this information. Hopefully after this episode you will be enlightened as well on how the system is designed to hold one captive. Let us know what you think about this episode     Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/wait-a-gam-minute-podcast.
