In the white house, for as you will hear from jason furman from the council on economic advisers. All of the agencies are focusing on what we could do on this important issue of reentry. Recentry fits into the broader picture of criminal Justice Reform and last summer the president gave a speech where he focused on three buckets. The community, the courthouse and the cell block. So we have a collective responsibility and many of the advocates that are here together together with the private sector have been focusing on improving our communities and everything from Early Childhood education to breaking the school to prison pipeline to breaking the Sexual Assault to prison pipeline to ensuring that every child gets that fair shot. The president s my brothers Keeper Initiative is another way of helping other boys and men of color to get that shot and follow a life free from crime. So we have to improve our community.

And that is all well and good. When someone else is losing an important benefit as a results come and that is when the has to be balance. The idea that i am entitled every possible idiosyncrasy in my beliefs is fine but as a result of those other peoples benefits that is when it crosses the line. We are going to leave it there.

My name is winnie and im the executive Vice President of external affairs here at the center for American Progress. Thank you for joining us for the important conversation about terminal Justice Reform. We are proud to be hosting it with the national network. The u. S. Is the worlds leader in incarceration with 2. 2 Million People currently in the nations jails and prisons. A 500 increase over the past 30 years. These trends have resulted in prison overcrowding at a rapidly expanding penal system despite increasing evidence that largescale incarceration is not the most effective means of achieving Public Safety.
