Innocence
summary
Argues the U.S. locks up more people per capita than any nation and Louisiana and New Orleans top the states and counties, cites Japan (70,000 prisoners) for contrast, and notes 29 states now legalize marijuana while people still serve decades. Recommends practical fixes: body cameras and ubiquitous phone video, bail and sentencing reform after a Houston ruling, investment in human capital via jobs and small businesses (example: exonerated man runs a barber shop), and a tech incubator in San Quentin plus free wireless for education.
