Today’s RJI’s podcast is with George Gascon.

Gascon has spent 40 years serving in law enforcement including in Los Angeles as assistant police chief, in Mesa, Arizona as Chief of Police, and in San Francisco as District Attorney.

During this RJI podcast conversation we discuss Gascon’s views on restorative justice, mass incarceration, wrongful convictions, restorative policing and the death penalty. We learn about Gascon’s record in San Francisco as district attorney, his work supporting restorative justice with juvenile offenders, and his vision for criminal justice reform for Los Angeles.
