We can’t take on mass incarceration without dismantling<br />
every part of its architecture. Part of how we got here<br />
is by building barriers to release even for the most<br />
deserving people who have served many decades and<br />
demonstrated their remorse and change. We applaud<br />
this effort to recognize the important role that State’s<br />
Attorneys must play to correct ongoing injustices and to<br />
invest in restorative approaches for our communities.<br />

Jahmaine and I are very grateful for<br />
the [Junior State’s Attorney] Program.<br />
As a parent I am proud of him and what the<br />
program has taught him. . . it helped to keep<br />
him focused and engaged towards his goal<br />
of being a detective in the future. Jahmaine<br />
says the mock trials also helped him in his<br />
US History class. Thank you to each and<br />
every member of the SAO for the Junior<br />
State’s Attorney Program.<br />

I’m glad Ms. Mosby brought back the community<br />
liaison program. In prior State’s Attorneys<br />
administrations we felt like nobody was listening<br />
or cared about what was happening around here.<br />
Now, we know that we’re not alone.<br />
John L. Crew, Jr<br />
President, Ashburton Area Association<br />
The fact that we saw drops in 911 calls and recidivism<br />
for low-level offenses shows us that communities are<br />
less impacted by these offenses than one might assume.<br />
The trend is different for other offenses during that time<br />
period. The policy is therefore making a positive impact<br />
on communities. By working with researchers, Mrs.<br />
Mosby has shown that she wants to approach these<br />
issues holistically, analyzing the data, and not making<br />
decisions in a vacuum.<br />
Susan Sherman<br />
Johns Hopkins University Professor<br />
The efforts made by the State’s Attorney Office<br />
to connect with the public are a prime example<br />
of what ‘transparency’ and ‘openness’ look like<br />
in their infancy...Ms. Mosby and her team are<br />
definitely on the right track.<br />
