Publish Date/Time:
April 28, 2011 Professor David Harris told the Pittsburgh City Paper that the time may be right for Pennsylvania to re-think years of relying on incarceration as the answer to every criminal justice problem.

"It's as if we're being forced into sanity by a lack of money," Professor Harris said.
