Getting Real About Public Safety: LA DEFENSA

What's Next, Los Angeles? with Mike Bonin

Does our criminal justice system work? Does it really provide for public safety? Or is it a broken, racist system that makes society’s troubles even worse? I talk with leaders of La Defensa, a nonprofit working to end our reliance on jails, cash bail, and a system that throws people away.
