Charged

Cassandra Cassandra carefully modulates her voice as she narrates this fascinating examination of the frequent failure of mass incarceration in the U.S. to solve problems. With strong tones and deliberate pacing she humanizes suspects and potential criminals to help listeners appreciate their situations and vocally unpacks complex and nuanced legal arguments. Bazelon gives listeners an insider's view as she compares two youths and the ways that the criminal justice system hinders, helps, or just makes things worse for them. Through these youth, Bazelon shows the ways the system is failing to achieve effective solutions and some of the efforts looking to resolve such problems. L.E. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
