S.F. ahead of curve on jail realignment

Barry Krisberg quoted in San Francisco Chronicle, July 16, 2012

Barry Krisberg, a criminologist at UC Berkeley’s law school, said San Francisco is “showing how to make realignment work. Some counties are just building jail cells and hiring prosecutors. San Francisco is doing what people who conceptualized realignment envisioned―a fundamental shift in the way California handles nonviolent, nonserious offenders.”
