RECOMMENDED READING
Supervision: Probation, Parole, and the Illusion of Safety & Freedom
Vincent Schiraldi was New York City probation commissioner under Mayor Bloomberg. He combines firsthand experience with deep research on the practices of probation and parole, to illustrate how they have strayed from their original goal of providing constructive and rehabilitative alternatives to prison. They have instead become a "recidivism trap" for people trying to lead productive lives after a criminal conviction.
A Second Chance: A Federal Judge Decides Who Deserves It.
Finally, Judge Block makes the compelling case that the First Step Act should be extended to state court judges, since state prisons house about 90 percent of those incarcerated. In a book that could be the basis for a new season of Law & Order, Judge Block challenges our ideas about punishment and justice. The book is available at Barnes and Noble
The Feminist and the Sex Offender
The American criminal justice system is supposed to be a contest between two equal adversaries, the prosecution and the defense, with judges ensuring a fair fight. That image of the law does not match the reality in the courtroom, however. It is prosecutors more than judges who control the outcome of a case, and they often decide who goes free and who goes to prison, even who lives and who dies.
