Prison populations are exploding. Overcrowded prisons lead to concerns about safety and human rights, not to mention the tremendous financial burden. Alongside this, we see an increase in drug-related incarcerations, especially those fueled by the opioid epidemic, which raises the perpetual discussion of the values of incarceration versus treatment. And of course, there is the age-old question about rehabilitation, post-prison life, and reintegration into society.
We dive into the deep end of this discussion by inviting three men who have made it a professional priority to reform criminal sentencing: Larry Obhof (State Senator for District 22 and President of the Senate), Ron O'Brien (Franklin County Prosecutor), Zach Klein (Columbus City Attorney), and host Karen Kasler (Bureau Chief of the Statehouse News Bureau).
