Raj Jayadev: Community-powered criminal justice reform (2019x197)

:

Community organizer Raj Jayadev wants to transform the US court system through "participatory defense" — a growing movement that empowers families and community members to impact their loved ones' court cases. He shares the remarkable results of their work — including more than 4,000 years of "time saved" from incarceration — and shows how this new model could shift the landscape of power in the courts.
