Contributing sentiments towards policy:
42% : Much of the conversation around criminal justice reform revolves around drug sentencing laws.41% : "The more we looked at what was happening in the name of reform," Whitlock says, "the more concerned we got and the more convinced we were that there was a lot of deception in the reforms being offered."While a lot of criminal justice legislation in the past decade has sought to address the injustices of overcriminalization, cash bail, and inhumane prison conditions, there's a case to be made that these reforms, on the whole, may simply be preserving the era of mass incarceration -- repackaging it in a way that appears kinder and more forgiving so as to assuage public opinion.
34% : Kay Whitlock and Nancy A. Heitzeg, authors of the new book "Carceral Con: The Deceptive Terrain of Criminal Justice Reform," argue that it's the latter.
