Media
I am passionate about criminal justice and love to talk about ways to reform our justice system.
I’ve appeared on national television, been a radio commentator on National Public Radio and Pacifica Radio, and have appeared on other national and local radio shows. I’ve been interviewed by the Associated Press, and been quoted in the Wall Street Journal and the Nation. I enjoy working with media from all over the world.
If justice is involved, I’d love to be there. For media requests, please contact me.
