Todays’ Quantum Revolution podcast is a little different than some of our previous episodes.  We usually focus on the relationship between science and spirituality. This season we have expanded our carefully curated group of guests to include other kinds of Quantum Revolutionaries.  From innovative social activists like Frank Schaeffer, to experts leading the charge on criminal justice reform, like today’s guest, Justin Brooks. In this episode we’re going to look at the judicial system and explore the question, what happens when you’re imprisoned for a crime you didn’t commit - and is the penal system actually fulfilling its purpose of rehabilitation and equitable punishment? When confronting outdated and discriminatory systems, it requires creativity to find the solutions that work within the confines of a dysfunctional system and eventually discovering the solutions to transforming the system into something more equitable and sustainable.  Today’s guest, Justin Brooks, is the embodiment of this kind of disruptive and compassionate creativity. We can’t transform the criminal justice system if we’re not taking a realistic look at what is actually happening.  If the goal of the criminal justice system is to rehabilitate people, we’re failing.  What would a just judiciary system look like?  How could we better rehabilitate people who commit crimes so that they can be reintroduced back into society as healed individuals?  How do we tackle racism in the current system?  These are the questions we must be asking as a society. We might not have the answer to these questions yet, but it’s time we start imagining new possibilities.  And then taking the incremental steps as they appear in front of us.
