In this bonus episode of Criminal Injustice, Casey Krizman breaks down a historic win for criminal justice reform in Colorado. For the first time in 25 years, the Joint Budget Committee denied the Department of Corrections' request for 788 new prison beds—a direct result of advocates and lawmakers demanding smarter solutions. Casey explores what's really driving overcrowding, from underfunded parole systems and community corrections to low-level violations sending people back behind bars, and makes the case that common sense and compassion can replace the default impulse to cage more humans.
