“What’s the best way to tackle America’s crisis of mass incarceration? This week on “The Argument,” Michelle Goldberg interviews Emily Bazelon, a staff writer at The Times Magazine, about her latest book, “Charged: The New Movement to Transform American Prosecution and End Mass Incarceration.” The book explores how prosecutors around the country are using their power to promote reform. Michelle and Emily talk about Brooklyn’s mandatory minimum sentencing laws for gun possession, Republicans on criminal justice reform and whether Kamala Harris really was a “progressive prosecutor.”“
