John Pfaff is a law professor at Fordham University. He is the author of a groundbreaking work which looks at a series of data to analyze mass incarceration and the true causes of it, and presents a path to achieve real reform.

He argues that the “standard story” about mass incarceration is largely wrong. Mass incarceration is not driven by the war on drugs as some have argued, and instead, in order to get to the heart of the problem, we have to address how we incarcerate the most serious offenders.

On Everyday Injustice, the professor discusses this theory as well as his thoughts on criminal justice reform and the progressive prosecutor movement.
