COVID - 19 & Prisons
from Legal-Ease Podcast Hosted by Legalease Podcast
Legalease Podcast, in partnership with Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law's Academy for Justice, interviewed Councilman Carlos Garcia, Assemblyman Pat Nolan, Public Defender Joel Feinman, Khalil Rushdan of the ACLU, and Attorney Kurt Altman for our upcoming episode on COVID-19 & our criminal justice system. We’re joined by organizers and public officials, all concerned about our unprecedented crisis: a spreading virus and how it affects our courts, our jails, and our prisons. If we’re going to talk about flattening the curve, then prisons, jails, and detention centers have to be part of the conversation. Pat Nolan is the Director of the American Conservative Union Foundation’s Center for Criminal Justice Reform, and he served in the California State Assembly for 15 years, ultimately serving as California State Assembly Republican Leader. Carlos Garcia serves on the Phoenix City Council as representative for District 8, and was elected to his position in 2019. Joel Feinman is the Public Defender for Pima County. Khalil Rushdan is the Smart Justice Community Partnerships Coordinator for ACLU of Arizona, and Kurt Altman is an attorney and state director of Right on Crime in Arizona & New Mexico.
