The overall high belief in redeemability & Black redeemability suggest policies that aim to facilitate rehabilitation, successful reentry, & redemption, would be in line with widespread public beliefs about justice-involved people.

This week, millions across the US are under a sweltering heat dome.
Heat waves are especially deadly for incarcerated people, as prisons are not equipped to handle these environmental emergencies – which will only get worse because of climate change.

Look yawl, we all make mistakes. Sometimes it's a big one, sometimes it's just a listserve one. Leon, your book looks amazing. A few angry people who don't understand that replying all to a listserve won't make it go away doesn't change that. Congrats on the book.
