With a growing bipartisan movement toward multifaceted criminal justice reform as well as recent changes to criminal justice policies across the United States, President Jeremy Travis has provided commentary on these important issues to a variety of media outlets. Most recently, he was interviewed by City & State about the calls for reforms to policing strategies, sentencing, solitary confinement policy, incarceration rates as well as improving police-community relations and working toward racial reconciliation in the “new era” of criminal justice.
In addition, President Travis is one of the contributors to the Brennan Center for Justice’s recent book Solutions: American Leaders Speak Out on Criminal Justice Reform which features essays by presidential candidates and other leaders about potential criminal justice reforms. His essay, titled A Culture Change, focuses on the problem of mass incarceration and its impact on the country.
