Public Safety and the Roots of Crime

FEATURING DORTELL WILLIAMS - While politicians like to say they’re “tough on crime,” especially during election years, it’s clear they don’t mean corporate crimes, white collar crimes, and those committed by the wealthy and powerful.

Williams has been incarcerated by the state of California for more than 3 decades.
