In this episode of the LBJ School's new podcast series "Eye on the Lege: Inside the 87th Texas Legislature," Distinguished Senior Lecturer Michele Deitch, an expert on the criminal justice system, correctional oversight and juvenile justice, talks with Alycia Welch, associate director of the COVID Corrections and Oversight Project at the LBJ School and a longtime criminal justice reform advocate. They discuss the bills surrounding criminal justice policy and policing this session, including Second Look, Raise the Age, parole reform, independent oversight for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the George Floyd Act and bail reform. They also look at what legislators aren't addressing as the session nears its close.

This episode of Policy on Purpose was mixed and mastered by Alejandra Arrazola, Harper Carlton, and Sofia Salter.
