Dismantling Mass Incarceration by James Forman, Jr. Premal Dharia & Maria Hawilo explores "how to make the system less harmful, less punitive, less harsh, more restorative." James Forman, Jr on how the book came to be and why the moment is right. Farrar,Straus&Giroux bit.ly/4e0dQNc

Can prosecutors, even progressive or reform-minded ones, help dismantle mass incarceration? In this roundtable about a new anthology of essays, to be published by Farrar,Straus&Giroux, Premal Dharia, James Forman, Jr., and Maria Hawilo ponder that vexing question. inquest.org/the-prosecutor…

Finally holding my copy of Dismantling Mass Incarceration, and it's hefty in all the good ways. Congrats to Premal Dharia James Forman, Jr. & Maria Hawilo for collecting so many smart ideas in one place, incl. from @tsp5280 Emily Bazelon Jessica Pishko John Pfaff, and now @johnpfaff.bsky.social DA Larry Krasner (and me).


Looking back on responses from bennett capers, DA Larry Krasner, Mary Moriarty, David Ayala, and Angela J. Davis on prosecutors' role in ending mass incarceration, Premal Dharia concludes: A prosecutor's intervention now can mean the world to someone. inquest.org/all-of-the-abo…
