Meek Mill’s REFORM Alliance and the Promise of Probation and Parole Reform

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/252350/fan_mail/new] This being “Second Chance Month,” it’s a perfect time to share our discussion with Jessica Jackson and Erin Haney—respectively, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Policy Officer of the REFORM Alliance, the justice initiative founded by Philadelphia-born and Grammy-nominated rapper Meek Mill and others. When Mill was sentenced, in November 2017, to a term of two to four years in prison for technical parole violations, the sentence was a catalyst for the criminal justice reform movement.  In January 2019, Mill and fellow rapper Jay-Z together formed REFORM, following Mill’s release.  Mill and Jay-Z were joined by a group of philanthropists and activists, several of whom, including Boston Patriots owner Robert Kraft, sit on REFORM’s Board of Directors. Our guests, Jessica Jackson and Erin Haney, each have their own interesting stories to tell about their work in the criminal justice reform movement.  It was a pleasure to welcome them to the JustPod.
