Gin & Justice

This week Justine and Amanda quickly brief everyone on their weekend at the Tampa Bay Criminal Justice Summit (more on that later), and then quickly dive into their interview with Dr. Brandee Izquierdo with S.A.F.E. Project (Stop the Addiction Fatality Epidemic).  The women discuss substance use disorder and its' relation to the criminal justice system. Brandee tells her inspirational story from the childhood trauma that led to her addiction, to her becoming justice-involved, and ultimately gaining her doctoral degree and becoming the Executive Director of S.A.F.E. Project.   She points out several of the barriers that justice-involved persons or formally justice-involved persons face before, during, and after being involved in the system and the stigma attached to it. S.A.F.E. Project has multiple lines of operation to combat the addiction epidemic through public awareness, prevention, prescriptions and medical response, law enforcement and criminal justice, treatment and recovery, and family outreach and support.

It's the last Legal Brief of the month, so you know what that means!
 Justine and Amanda tell you about all the people added to The National Exoneration Registry.
"The National Registry of Exonerations is a project of the Newkirk Center for Science & Society at University of California Irvine, the University of Michigan Law School and Michigan State University College of Law. It was founded in 2012 in conjunction with the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University School of Law. The Registry provides detailed information about every known exoneration in the United States since 1989—cases in which a person was wrongly convicted of a crime and later cleared of all the charges based on new evidence of innocence. The Registry also maintains a more limited database of known exonerations prior to 1989."

  Morgan is a harm reduction advocate who spent years addicted to heroin and years in prison due to the overdose death of her best friend. She  found a system of injustice within the US justice system, and now she successfully works to change the systems that have harmed her and are harming many others. Not only by telling her own story, but she is also the engagement editor (and occasional feature writer) for the American Prison Newspapers collection at JSTOR Daily, and started the non profit Beats Overdose, which provides overdose prevention services to the music and entertainment industry.
