How a Data-Driven Approach is Transforming the Criminal Justice System

The following is a conversation with CEO Clementine Jacoby and Head of Product Andrew Warren of Recidiviz, and Denver Frederick, the Host of The Business of Giving. The United States comprises less than 5% of the world's population, but close to 25% of the world's prison population. Part of the problem is that there's a nationwide lack of uniformity in collecting and sharing data in the criminal justice system. It's a Tower of Babel of sorts, which leads to inefficiency and poor decision-making. An organization that has made remarkable progress in addressing this seemingly intractable challenge is Recidiviz, and it's a pleasure to have with us its co-founders, CEO Clementine Jacoby and Head of Product Andrew Warren.
