Criminal Justice Reform - Moth to Flame Newsletter by Beth Shelburne

I'm attending the screening of "The Alabama Solution" on Saturday in Montgomery, and I already know it will be a life-altering experience. You can stream it on HBO Max.

If you are interested in criminal justice reform and the death penalty, I highly recommend subscribing (free or paid) to the "Moth to Flame" newsletter by Beth Shelburne. She has covered crime for over 20 years as a news reporter, and she continues writing about the state of our criminal justice system.

Beth's latest writing is about the mindset that everyone in prison is evil and "deserves whatever they get" while incarcerated. That mindset makes it difficult to acknowledge the horrible conditions in Alabama facilities (and I'm sure across the country). Our current Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is of that mindset, which is a big problem. We need prosecutors and AGs who enforce the law, but who are also compassionate and aware of the major causes of crime.

Here is Beth's latest newsletter:
