New Orleans Tricentennial

What should justice look like in New Orleans for the next three hundred years? The criminal justice system in New Orleans absorbs the lion’s share of the city’s operating budget. With new and renewed leadership in this important year in our city’s history, it is time to dig deep into what it means to build a system that delivers on the promise of fairness, justice, and safety for all New Orleanians. At the tricentennial we are asking: How will our city envision criminal justice reform in this historic moment? In these short videos, New Orleans community leaders discuss key findings from Vera’s research and share their visions for the future.

Videos Created and directed by Benjamin Weber with filming and editing by Voice Monet. Produced by the Vera Institute of Justice.
