In a year marked by contentious partisan divisions, maybe the one thing Michigan Republicans and Democrats seem to agree on is criminal justice reform. Governor Whitmer earlier this week signed into a bipartisan package of major criminal justice reforms that addressed issues like mandatory minimum and penalties for driving on a suspended license. Meanwhile, Washtenaw County became the first in the state to move toward eliminating cash bail for most criminal cases. On today’s episode, we’ll talk about what these reforms will mean for folks involved in the criminal justice system. GUESTS: Eli Savit, Washtenaw County prosecutor Kimberly Buddin, policy counsel with the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan Stateside’s theme music is by 14KT.
