Highlighting a number of notable recent Inquest essays

It has been some time since I have highlighted essays from Inquest, “a decarceral brainstorm,” but I recently noticed a number of newer pieces that sentencing fans may want to check out:

By Carol Steiker, “Almost Anti–Death Penalty: Biden’s incomplete slate of commutations saved lives but ultimately lost the moral argument.”

By Sonali Chakravarti, “Becoming Decarceral Jurors: Serving in the jury system, and preserving it, should be a goal for anyone committed to ending the scope and scale of mass incarceration.”

By Angelo Petrigh, “Decarceral Counseling: Defense lawyers should be open to advising their clients about systemic oppression, laying bare the ways that mass incarceration ensnares.”

By Aliza Hochman Bloom, “A Mere Hunch: The right to be free from unreasonable government intrusion means nothing to millions subject to probation. That’s wrong.”
