On this week’s episode we begin a two-part in-depth interview with Vinny Schiraldi, a firebrand for justice reform whose career has included leadership on alternatives to incarceration, advocacy, and government leadership.In part one we talk to Schiraldi, now a fellow with the Pinkerton Foundation, about his own formative impressions of the justice system as an adolescent growing up in Brooklyn. Then we discuss his first job working at a New York group home for delinquent youth, and the chance meeting with reformer Jerry Miller that challenged his early views on how to help kids. We then talked about the launch of the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice and the Justice Policy Institute, and the city that challenged him to address theproblems with its youth justice system that Schiraldi had relentlessly calledout as an advocate. Thanks to Sellers Dorsey for sponsoring this episode!Reading RoomOpinion: Trump’s Youth Justice Agenda Will Make Us Less Safehttps://imprintnews.org/opinion/trumps-youth-justice-agenda-will-make-us-less-safe/265375With Jails Mired in ‘Culture of Violence,’ New York City Taps Juvenile Justice Reformerhttps://imprintnews.org/justice/juvenile-justice-2/jails-culture-violence-new-york-juvenile-justice-reformer/54542Former Youth Corrections Officials: We Want to Help Close Youth Prisonshttps://imprintnews.org/justice/new-york-justice-officials-close-youth-prisons/34514Opinion: How to End the Era of Mass Supervisionhttps://imprintnews.org/justice/how-to-end-the-era-of-mass-supervision/37846Learning from Massachusetts’ Juvenile Justice Experimenthttps://youthtoday.org/2011/12/learning-from-massachusetts-juvenile-justice-experiment/Sure They Talk, But Can They Walk?https://youthtoday.org/2006/10/sure-they-talk-but-can-they-walk/
