About A New Legacy

A New Legacy is our contribution to the journey out of punitive sentencing and tough-on-crime attitudes as we work toward a new vision of justice and healing in this country. This podcast features an inclusive coalition of voices and approaches that aim to disrupt cycles of harm from the beginning to create a safer world. Rather than incarcerating people after the fact, we are looking for ways to prevent crime by seeking out restorative and community-based solutions that address violence at the source. In speaking with the community leaders who have been forging this path forward, we will explore scientifically-proven alternatives to incarceration. These strategies include rehabilitation and reentry services, community-based violence intervention, restorative justice, trauma treatment, substance abuse support, and combating economic inequality. The outcomes of these alternatives will support us all, resulting in safer, healthier communities.
