Loved this article! Particularly appreciated the connection between economics/credibility politics and the reality that many meaningful interventions cannot pass rigorous testing standards. Reformers must reflect on why we care about evidence and do so without de-prioritizing everything else. Reliance on measurement is an ego trip - so much of decarceration work can/will never be accurately measured.
This is why I am an abolitionist.
