Episode Details

In this episode, I discuss Maryanne Atkins and how the criminal justice system failed her. While she is not innocent of her crime, she was not treated fairly during her sentencing. It is no secret that not all incarcerated individuals are guilty. We need organizations such as the Innocence Project, the Freedom Project, and the American Quittance Society to help hold the Department of Corrections, the justice system, and law enforcement accountable for their actions. Although the criminal justice system is effective, it isn't always fair and equal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeHopnbHLYo
