Leaders and Legends of Criminal Justice Reform with Pat Nolan (Part One)

Measured Justice is excited to launch a new series – Leaders and Legends of Criminal Justice Reform – where we will be speaking with those who have paved the way and led the charge in trying to make positive changes to how our criminal justice system works. In this inaugural episode, we speak with Pat Nolan, Director Emeritus of the American Conservative Union Foundation’s Nolan Center for Justice. What happens when a once, tough-on-crime, rising member of the GOP finds himself in federal prison with the same people he’s spent his career advocating harsh sentences for? Hear from Pat as he discusses his childhood, his rise through the ranks of the GOP and his subsequent downfall that will eventually give him a new outlook on incarceration and lead to the second half of his career – becoming a champion for Criminal Justice Reform. This will be part one of a two part episode. Stay tuned for part two to be released next week.
