Today one in every seven people in U.S. prisons is serving a life sentence, a massive increase over previous decades. Marc Mauer will explore the policy changes that have produced this historic growth, and present evidence that life imprisonment actually reduces public safety.
Marc Mauer is the executive director of The Sentencing Project and one of the nation’s leading experts on sentencing policy, race, and the criminal justice system. In 2018 he was named a “Frederick Douglass 200” awardee as one of 200 individuals “who best embody the spirit and work of Frederick Douglass.”
