Bryan Stevenson on America's Incarcerated
Clip: 4/23/2015 | 9m 51s
The prominent African-American lawyer talks about the problem with America's prisons.
“When we make a mistake, we want a little grace, we want a little room to be forgiven, and that's what everybody wants. If you tell a lie, you're not just a liar. If you take something that doesn't belong to you, you're not just a thief. And even if you kill someone, you're not just a killer. That idea has to have resonance in a just society that's going to be both compassionate and just.”
