164 | "Why Would You Even Ask That?" The Absurdity of America's Youth Justice System w/Iliana Pujols

What can we learn from the successes of other countries? Today, Hunter speaks with Iliana Pujols to compare and contrast the youth criminal legal system where she works in Connecticut and Norway. In particular, we discuss just how far removed from accepted international practices of youth justice, and what needs to be done to break through the American exceptionalism that stops Americans from learning from other countries.

Guests:

Iliana Pujols, Policy Director at Connecticut Justice Alliance, Young Justice Leader Pathfinders for Peace, Justice and Inclusive Societies
