NYC Tackles Its ‘Warehouse’ Jail System

The Brian Lehrer Show | May 27, 2015

Elizabeth Glazer, director of the Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice, and Laurie R. Garduque, director of Justice Reform at the MacArthur Foundation, discuss the Safety and Justice Challenge: an initiative that New York City is taking part in with the MacArthur Foundation, as one of 20 winners chosen from nearly 200 applicants that will receive grants aimed at reducing local jail populations, and improve the way their local criminal justice systems function.
