Last week, Tara Huffman, director of OSI’s Criminal and Juvenile Justice program, took part in a panel discussion hosted by the Innocence Project, “Innocence Denied: Exploring the Intersection of Race, Bail and Guilty Pleas” at the Congressional Black Caucus. The panel, which also included Rodney Roberts, an exoneree and founder of the Rodney Roberts Foundation; Adam Foss, former assistant district attorney and founder of Prosecutor Impact; and Kristin Henning, director of Georgetown University’s Juvenile Justice Clinic, discussed a range of topics including examining why people who are innocent plead guilty. The panel also discussed pretrial reform policy solutions. Huffman oversees the work of the Coalition for a Safe and Just Maryland, which works toward an alternative system of pretrial justice that reduces unnecessary detentions and does not penalize people for their economic status.
