Description:

The NOVEMBER, 2024 episode is entitled “Debunking the Myth: Why Mass Incarceration Doesn't Mean Less Crime." SUMMARY: In the last decade, nearly all 50 U.S. states have declined in both crime and mass incarceration rates, but according to a recent report by The Sentencing Project (TSP), there's a startling disconnect between the two. This report exposes the limited impact of imprisonment on public safety and challenges the notion that higher incarceration rates lead to safer communities. In this episode, two Washington, D.C.-based guests -- Nazgol Chandnoosh, TSP's co-director of research, and Bryan Widenhouse, senior policy associate at FAMM (formerly Families Against Mandatory Minimums) -- discuss how mass incarceration hasn't been a major factor in the decline in crime since the 1990s.
