Van Jones: Cutting Mass Incarceration

Karen James interviews CNN contributor and author Van Jones. Cut 50, an organization he co-founded, plans to cut U.S. mass incarceration by 50% in ten years. In July, President Obama visited a federal prison and there’s bipartisan Congressional support for legislation to reform the criminal justice system. Van Jones believes this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for reform.
