Charitable Giving...

As you know, I generally only put in plugs for The Bronx Defenders, my alma mater and the finest public defender office in the world, but today, a quick departure from that general rule to encourage readers to donate to Peter Wagner's Prison Policy Initiative, an impressive organization devoted to exposing the social costs of our prison policy. For the next three days they've got a donor who will match any contribution up to a total of 10,000. If you're so inclined, (I just sent them a few hundred bucks) You can donate here.
