How many FEWER prisoners should there be? Who should be let go sooner-- for what crimes? We Americans largely agree on fundamental ethical principles, even when it comes to the justice system. But today's guest Rory Fleming provides some empirical answers about the best ways for us all to get a slice of the ethical, criminal justice flavored pie.  Rory is a licensed attorney in the State of Minnesota (he also writes for several magazines); he is the founder of Foglight Strategies, a consulting firm to help elect progressive District Attorneys throughout the nation; and he is now on the FSDP advisory board.    CHECK OUT PRODUCER AARON FERGUSON'S ORIGINAL MUSIC HERE   Support the show on Patreon  http://patreon.com/thesocialexchange   Visit our audible link--- download a free audio book and support the show! http://audibletrial.com/socialexchange   Listen on iTunes (and leave us a review!) https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/t...    Thanks to our new patrons - Anne M.
