Herman: Strategies for Implementing Criminal Justice Reform ISSUE 23:1 SPRING 2018 Getting There: On Strategies for Implementing Criminal Justice Reform Susan N. Herman* Criminal justice reform efforts sometimes seem improvisational. Scholars and activists have built a persuasive case that we need to reform the criminal justice system to reduce our reflexive dependency on mass incarceration and to root out bias against the poor, the mentally ill, and racial minorities. We know that actions like revising sentencing laws and eliminating cash bail are steps in the right direction. And so advocates around the country have been using any tools in grabbing distance to achieve those results: legislation, ballot initiatives, administrative or judicial regulations, or direct political action. Strategic discussion of how to prioritize and harmonize those approaches, or how best to build momentum among the states, however, is frequently held behind closed doors when it is held at all.

  • The Future of Penal Reform, the Carceral State, and American Politics*
    Bring It On: The Future of Penal Reform, the Carceral State, and American Politics* Marie Gottschalk** Fifteen years ago, mass imprisonment was largely an invisible issue in the United States. Since then, criticism of the country’s extraordinary incarceration rate has become widespread across the political spectrum. The huge prison buildup of the past four decades has few ardent defenders at present. But reforms to reduce the number of people in jail and prison have been remarkably modest so far. Meanwhile, a tenacious carceral state has sprouted in the shadows of mass imprisonment and has been extending its reach far beyond the prison gate. It includes not only the country’s vast archipelago of jails and prisons, but also the far-reaching and growing range of penal punishments and controls that lie in the never-never land between the prison gate and full citizenship. As it sunders families and communities, and radically reworks conceptions of democracy, rights, and citizenship, the carceral state poses a formidable political and social challenge. The reach of the carceral state today is truly breathtaking. It extends well beyond the estimated 2.2 million people sitting in jail or prison today in the United States.1 It encompasses the more than 8 million people—or 1 in 23 adults―who are under some form of state control: including jail, prison, probation, parole, community sanctions, drug courts, immigrant detention, and other forms of government supervision.2 It also includes the millions of people who are booked into jail each year— nearly twelve million—and the estimated 7.5 percent of all adults who are felons or ex-felons.3 * This article is based on a revised and updated version of the concluding chapter of Marie Gottschalk, Caught: The Prison State and the Lockdown of American Politics (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2015).

He was sentenced to an aggregate term of 12-35 years’ imprisonment. According to Lusick, in November 2007, he attempted to file a misconduct complaint under 16 P.S. § 1405 against then-District Attorney of Philadelphia Lynne Abraham and several subordinates in her office.1 Apparently, Lusick’s complaint was never docketed by the Philadelphia Clerk of Quarter Sessions, so he refiled it in August 2009. In December 2009, Lusick filed the instant civil rights complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

    Report of the COMMISSION on CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION OBVERSE. 6 &/v lo p 1959 1 5 I ALLEGHENYCOUNTY Law Library PITTSBURGH,PA. THE GREAT SEAL OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA (OFFICIAL) PENNSYLVANIA COMMISSION ON CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION SUITE ?35-A. MAIN CAPITOL SUILDING HARRISBURG. PENNSYLVANIA March 9, 1959 To His Excellency, David L. Lawrence, Governor and To The Honorables, The Members of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Gentlemen: Pursuant to the Act of July 15, 1957, P.L. 927, the Commission on Constitutional Revision is pleased to submit for your consideration this report. The funds available to the Commission were not sufficient to pay for recording and printing its debates and discussions. Therefore, as chairman, I think it advisable to report some of my personal observations concerning the Commission*s deliberations. The Commissioners were faithful in attendance at both Commission and committee meetings. Although aided by an able staff, a considerable amount of detail work was done by the Commissioners themselves. The discussions demonstrated that the Commissioners gave extensive thought and study to the problems under consideration. The deliberations were free from partisan approach. In spite of basic differences in governmental philosophy and the forceful presentation of conflicting views, there never were any expressions of acrimony or personal animosity to mar the decorum of the meetings. The presiding officer had no problems. The individual members of the Commission will, if requested, be pleased to meet with the legislative committees which may be assigned the task of reviewing and implementing this report. Respectfully submitted, Robert B. Woodside Chairman in /?wce tllerein /or ever, una&ed, except in ence 6~2 /owacl to rec+re improuemd.
