Communities Not Cages: Sentencing Reform for Justice

Tuesday, January 28, 2025 • Duration 32:40

We continue to examine the criminal justice system this week through the lens of sentencing reform. Currently, Communities Not Cages seeks to right the wrongs of the lingering effects of the War on Drugs and crack down on crime in the late 80s and through the 90s by offering incarcerated people a chance at restoration and freedom.

The Marvin Mayfield Act, the Earned Time Act and the Second Look Act remove the incentive for judges to hand down lengthy sentences, create opportunity to have a resentencing hearing while facing endless time in prison and reward rehabilitation and provide personal growth opportunities for those thrown into the system.

On this episode of The Public Good, we are joined by Thomas Gant, Felicia Cruz, and Lamar Scott of Communities Not Cages as they advocate for these three integral bills to change the lives of hundreds of incarcerated people across New York State.

Treatment Not Jails: The Case for Harm Reduction and Holistic Court Systems

Tuesday, January 14, 2025 • Duration 30:23

Through the decades our society has faced crisis after crisis: The Crack Epidemic, 2008 Financial Crisis, the Opioid Crisis, COVID-19 and innumerable events have directly impact the economic, social and emotional health of everyday people.

The criminal justice system in New York State sought to create a pathway in the court system to address mental health and substance abuse issues proliferating case after case, through the creation of Treatment Courts. However, the implementation of these court systems have not been uniform across municipalities. As a result, people are forced into unfair plea agreements and unsustainable treatment programs.

On this episode of The Public Good, Sophie Feal of Legal Aid Bureau of Western New York of the Holistic Representation Unit, discusses advocacy efforts to standardized harm reduction principles and create wider accessibility of treatment courts in New York State. Tune in to join the discussion!

Song of Myself: Whitman in Buffalo and the Calamus Project

Monday, August 19, 2024 • Duration 28:31

On this special episode of The Public Good, we introduce Whitman, Buffalo a celebration of poetry and community.

Partnership for the Public Good (PPG) and the Calamus Project worked with filmmaker Steve Rosenthal to film representatives from 20 PPG partner organizations doing three things: describing themselves and their work; talking about PPG’s 20 principles (eight assets and twelve challenges facing Buffalo); and reciting a passage from Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself.”

“Song of Myself” is one of the world’s greatest poems. In an earthy, open style, Whitman celebrates democracy, love, and radical inclusion. Since its first publication in 1855, “Song of Myself” has moved people all over the world with its radiant vision and “barbaric yawp.”

Whitman, Buffalo was inspired by Whitman, Alabama: a project of filmmaker Jennifer Crandall, who will be visiting Buffalo this fall as part of the exhibition “Embracing Earth: Burchfield & Whitman” at the Burchfield Penney Art Center.
