Note:"When The New Press, the Center for American Progress, and the Formerly Incarcerated and Convicted Peoples and Family Movement issued a call for innovative reform ideas, over three hundred currently and formerly incarcerated individuals responded. What We Know collects two dozen of their best suggestions, each of which proposes a policy solution derived from their own lived experience. A thoughtful and surprising cornucopia of ideas for improving America's criminal justice system, from those most impacted by it."-- Provided by publisher.
