DESCRIPTION:James Forman Jr.\, is a Professor at Yale Law School. He is a l
 eading critic of mass incarceration and its disproportionate impact on peo
 ple of color in the United States. His Pulitzer Prize-winning book\, Locki
 ng Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America\, looks at the war on
  crime in the 1970s and the Black mayors\, judges\, and police chiefs who 
 took office during a period of rising crime\, their tough-on-crime measure
 s\, and the effect of these policies on poor Black neighborhoods. Before j
 oining the faculty at Yale\, Forman clerked for Supreme Court Justice Sand
 ra Day O’Conner and was a public defender in Washington\, D.C. His work 
 as a public defender led him to start the Maya Angelou Public Charter Scho
 ol\, an alternative school for youth offenders and school dropouts. He is 
 the son of Civil Rights activist James Forman and grandson of author\, act
 ivist and University Forum guest Jessica Mitford.
