Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A bill that could substantially reduce the population of Maryland’s overcrowded prisons is sitting on Governor Martin O’Malley’s desk. But no one is sure if he’ll sign it. We hear about the legislation passed by the General Assembly which would permit some convicted drug dealers to be eligible for early parole, and hear from advocates who say Maryland should become part of the national trend toward reversing severe punishment for some low-level drug crimes.
Guests
- Jason Ziedenberg Executive Director of the Justice Policy Institute in Washington, D.C.
