CNN political commentator Van Jones and Dallas businessman Doug Deason will unite as leading voices from the left and right, respectively, for “Unlikely Allies: The Nonpartisan Fight for Criminal Justice Reform” at SMU Dedman School of Law’s Karcher Auditorium.
The free public event, to conclude with a short reception, requires advance registration. It is being hosted by SMU Dedman Law’s new Deason Family Criminal Justice Reform Center with #cut50, an initiative co-founded by Jones to “smartly and safely” cut the nation’s incarceration numbers in half.
