    S1E7: Judging Remorse in Criminal Sentencing, Susan Bandes, Law and Emotions
    Nov 5 2024

    Susan Bandes is a pioneer in the study of law and emotions. The law looks for remorse from people who commit crimes at sentencing and in the parole process. But as Professor Bandes warns, judging remorse is far more difficult than it seems.

  • S1E6: Meet the Prosecutors Fighting for Second Chances, with Hillary Blout from For the People

    S1E6: Meet the Prosecutors Fighting for Second Chances, with Hillary Blout from For the People
    Oct 22 2024
    You don't necessarily think of prosecutors when you think about second chances. After all, prosecutor offices are the very entities that send people to prison in the first place. Join me for a fascinating conversation with Hillary Blout, a former prosecutor and the Founder and Executive Director of For the People, a national nonprofit working with prosecutors to look back at past sentences and bring people home from prison. Hillary is working hard to make prosecutors be part of the solution to ending long prison terms. She spearheaded the passage of the first prosecutor-initiated resentencing law in the country. Listen as we talk about prosecutor-initiated resentencing laws, Hillary's response to the skeptics, and how Vice President Kamala Harris changed the course of Hillary's career. To learn more about Hilary and her work at For the People, check out their website.

  • S1E5: Author Ben Austen Talks Parole, Innocence, and "Buck Rogers" Prison Time

    S1E5: Author Ben Austen Talks Parole, Innocence, and "Buck Rogers" Prison Time
    Oct 8 2024

    Ben Austen, author of Correction: Parole, Prison and the Possibility of Change, provides a rare glimpse into the often opaque and dysfunctional parole process. He shares the stories of two men who spend decades in prison before they present their cases to the parole board. In the telling, Austen reveals the possibilities and the brokenness of parole as a vehicle for second chances, and asks important questions about whether parole truly allows people to move beyond their convictions and prison to freedom.
