As the United States continues to confront the issues of policing, crime prevention, and mass incarceration, Mrs. Allgood and Mr. Rixon wanted to provide the listeners with another episode that may help shed light on some of these conversations - the 1994 Crime Bill signed by President Bill Clinton.
