Misplaced Priorities Briefing Rep Bobby Scott Opening Remarks Part 1

Rep. Bobby Scott hosts a policy briefing about over incarceration and its negative impact on youth on Monday, May 23, 2011. The briefing was inspired by the recent NAACP report, "Misplaced Priorities: Over Incarcerate, Under Educate." The report explains that the over incarceration of non-violent offenders is a counterproductive approach to crime policy that erodes state budgets at the expense of state public education systems. As a result, the over incarceration of non-violent offenders undermines the promise of our youth.
