The op-ed was co-authored by Jeremy Travis, President of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice of the City University of New York, and Bruce Western, Professor of Sociology and Director of the Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy at Harvard Kennedy School. They served as chair and vice chair, respectively, of the National Research Council’s Committee on the Causes and Consequences of High Rates of Incarceration in the United States.
