Well-publicized shortcomings in the state parole system became a passion of Sen. David Sanders of Little Rock at the legislature. The extraordinary population of recidivist parolees in Little Rock has
become a major concern for Mayor Mark Stodola. City Director Ken Richardson represents a neighborhood familiar with both problems, but he also works a day job that aims at preventing the creation of offenders. Do more people need to be locked up longer? And if not, what's the alternative? Richardson, Sanders and Stodola discuss in a panel discussion moderated by Max Brantley.
