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

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. Last week we posted our inaugural episode to this series where we spoke with Pat Nolan, Director Emeritus of the American Conservative Union Foundation’s Nolan Center for Justice. Pat’s story as a once tough-on-crime rising member of the GOP who found himself in federal prison with the same people he spent his career advocating tough sentences for, had so much to unpack that we had to split it into two episodes. Here is that conclusion. Hear from Pat as he discusses his time in prison and how it gave him a new outlook on incarceration and lead to the second half of his career – becoming a champion for Criminal Justice Reform.
