This week in The Suit we discuss criminal justice reform and the myriad of issues at every stage in the process. From policing problems to mass incarceration, criminal justice reform has emerged as an important priority for both Democrats and Republicans. During The Pearls, we talk polls and the upcoming State of the Union (which we will be live tweeting!). In The Heels, we discuss great movies we've seen recently.
