Jason Walker Killed By Fayetteville, NC Police

In this week’s State of Criminal Justice, we’ll cover the killing of Jason Walker by a Fayetteville, NC police officer, a new DOJ unit, and the outbreak of COVID-19 in a Chicago-area jail. And in our New Ground segment, we’ll discuss a new residency for formerly incarcerated young people.
