Could Free Bus Fare Help Reform Criminal Justice?

Season 2026 Episode 8103 | 18m 03s

Concerns over due process make headlines every day, from immigration to executive overreach. But these have long been normalized in lower criminal courts, argues former public defender Emily Galvin Almanza in her new book "The Price of Mercy." She says a plea-driven system often lets misconduct go unpunished. The author joins Michel Martin to discuss what she thinks has to change.
