Teresa Hodge speaks on “Innovators Rethinking Criminal Justice Systems” at the Milken Institute’s 2024 Global Conference

May 20, 2024

On May 8, Teresa Hodge (Leading with Conviction™ 2015) joined a panel of experts — including Ari Melber from MSNBC — at the 27th Annual Global Conference of the Milken Institute to discuss “innovations reshaping justice systems — from prevention to prison reform and rehabilitation.”

The panel explored “how governments, corporations, and not-for-profits around the world are moving from business-as-usual to assess new models to improve public safety, create safer communities, and help individuals visualize a life after crime.”

Teresa posted on LinkedIn these “Top 10 Takeaways” from the panel:

  1. Innovation is Crucial: Urgent need for solutions that enhance efficiency and fairness.
  2. Educational Programs: Crucial for addressing inmate literacy.
  3. Data Utilization: Key to improving rehabilitation and reintegration.
