COMMENTS & TWEETS

Honored to have played a small role advising Mayor Pete's campaign on their bold plan to cut U.S. incarceration in half. And heartened to see a campaign bringing the perspective of formerly incarcerated people into the process. Some details here: #cjreform https://t.co/jH7DTXxrOf

Thankful to @PeteButtigieg for putting forward a bold criminal justice plan.

This one is personal for me--like nearly 1 in 2 Americans, I have had family members serve time in prison. https://t.co/dfkQv2ONyn
