GPPR Editor Bryna Antonia Cortes (MPM ’23) spoke with Khalil Cumberbatch, national leader and advocate on criminal justice policy, and Vikki Wachino, health care policy champion and former deputy administrator at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), on the convening of their multi-sector coalition, the Health and Reentry Project (HARP); forthcoming CMS approval for states seeking to offer pre-release services; and the intersection of health and criminal justice systems.
“[T]he sheer amount of people that go in and out of the criminal justice system, but particularly local jails… continues to hover around the same rate, and that’s the same for red states, blue states, purple states, and that’s because there continues to be a lack of inadequate policies that exist on a local level to stop the churn – the sheer introduction of people into the criminal justice system, who don’t necessarily need to be there, because there are underlying conditions either it’s medical or mental health.” – Khalil Cumberbatch
“We know that the re-entry period poses very high risks to people in terms of their health. We see high rates of death, after release. We see high rates of overdose, after release, and we see high rates of emergency room use
