VICE News quoted Fordham professor John Pfaff in an article about Steve Cook, Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s pick to help crack down on violent crime.
John Pfaff, a law professor at Fordham University who studies crime and incarceration, said Cook also ignores the social cost of mass incarceration, from reduced life expectancy to damage done to the prisoners’ families.
“These are real costs, and they are discussed far too rarely,” Pfaff said in an email.
