Rethinking the Criminal Justice System

Welcome to a new section of our site where we'll be focusing on criminal justice reform. It will be a place to share different perspectives on how we can improve our criminal justice system, focusing especially on Baltimore and Maryland.

One of our regular contributors is going to be Page Croyder. She is a former assistant state's attorney. She supervised the "War Room" from its creation in 2004 until her retirement in January of 2008. For everyone who's not a criminal justice insider or expert, and is wondering what the "War Room" is, find out by reading Page's first contribution to our site. We'll be soliciting various other people to share their thoughts and ideas as well.
