The Task Force: Women in Criminal Justice join us to discuss their final report “Pulling Back the Curtain”. Further we discuss the impact of the listening sessions conducted by the Task Force and models for how these reports can help criminal justice practitioners across the country. And now that the report is published, the Task Force has plans to pressure test their recommendations. Maryam shares with us their plans and what we should expect looking forward.
