Reviewing another round of great new Inquest essays
I have been making a habit of spotlighting some of the many great pieces regularly posted at Inquest (see recent prior posts here and here and here). Inquest, "a decarceral brainstorm," keeps churning out lots of new must-read essays, and I continue to struggle to keep up with all the great content. Here are some recent pieces worth checking out:
By Erin Collins, "The Evidence-Based Trap: Data-driven approaches to reform can reinforce aspects of a system that’s rotten to the core."
By Dan Berger, "Changing Everything: Beyond electing progressive prosecutors, decarceration requires an ambitious, multifaceted struggle at all levels of governance."
By Nebil Husayn, "Juneteenth and Black Liberation: Our government's history of oppression compels us to free those Black revolutionaries aging in our prisons."
By Jessica T. Simes & Jaquelyn L. Jahn, "Policing Health: The impact of Medicaid expansion suggests that keeping people healthy also keeps them from the reach of the criminal legal system."

One of many things to like about Doug Berman is that he is unafraid to put up numerous articles showing just how radical and viciously anti-American the "reform" movement has become.
