Vincent Schiraldi co-founded the Justice Lab at Columbia University. The Justice Lab is devoted to reducing society’s reliance the criminal justice system as a solution to social problems through research; education; and convening scholars, practitioners, policy makers, advocates and formerly incarcerated people. 

Projects include eliminating youth prisons, reducing the footprint and negative impact of community corrections, and creating a developmentally appropriate response to offending by young adults.

In this candid conversation Vinny shares with us the story of how he came to work in justice reform and what it is that drives him to do the work he does. We hope you enjoy this chat with Vincent Schiraldi.
