and Amy XXX, a police officer with the SF Police department.
Host: Deborah Pardes and you
We don’t talk about jail like we talk about taxes or health care, but maybe we should. What people do in jail directly effects what they do when they leave, and become your neighbor. 2 years doing nothing vs 2 years of learning and concentrated rehabilitation - well, who would you want to hang with? Let’s talk with Sunny Schwartz and really bust open this issue. You’ll be captivated…I promise.
Sunny Schwartz, a nationally recognized expert in criminal justice reform, has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and Larry King Live to talk about Resolve to Stop the Violence (RSVP), a groundbreaking program she created for the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department. RSVP brings together victims and offenders in a unique correctional program that empowers victims, and requires offenders to take true responsibility for their actions and eliminate their violent behavior.
