Ep. 38: Rehabilitate or Incarcerate? How Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk Approaches Crime
Manage episode 438932604 series 3559349
Glenn Funk balances safety and social justice in his role as Nashville District Attorney.
The Nashville District Attorney was sworn in nearly a decade ago. Nashville’s daily prison population is about half of what it was before he took office.
The second term elected official says reducing incarceration increases rehabilitation and saves metro money — $45 million a year by his estimate.
Funk discusses some positive legislative changes from the 2024 session, including Jillian's Law, homelessness and much more in this episode of Climbing the Charts.
