Compassionate Criminal Justice System Reform with State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy, the Top Law Enforcement Officer in Prince George’s County, Maryland
In this episode of Black Power Moves, part of the Ebony Covering Black America Podcast Network, we're speaking to State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy, the Top Law Enforcement Officer in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
Aisha Braveboy is responsible for the safety, security, and administration of justice for more than 900,000 residents. She manages a budget of roughly $22 million and a staff of over 200, including approximately 100 attorneys. Ms. Braveboy has implemented innovative and successful reforms to the criminal justice system to reduce mass incarceration while protecting the welfare of her community.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ms. Braveboy has been at the forefront with effective solutions to prevent the spread of the virus. She was the first prosecutor in the State and one of the first in the nation – to proactively and thoughtfully reduce the local jail population, which decreased the spread of the coronavirus through her celebrated initiative, Operation Safe Release. This initiative led to a significant reduction in the average daily population at the local jail. In addition, Ms. Braveboy continues to work with non-profits and County agencies to ensure that victims of domestic violence and physical abuse receive the resources and support they need during the pandemic.
Ms. Braveboy graduated from the University of Maryland College Park, where she received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Government and Politics. She also received her Juris Doctorate from Howard University School of Law. She is also an adjunct professor at Bouie State University and is a proud member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc, which are also celebrating their Centennial year.
