Interesting article about my colleague Michael Sheridan who practices collegiate sports law:

Another great article posted by the Director of Second Look Network at The Sentencing Project regarding use of clemency powers to address excessive sentences. The number of older people in State & Federal prisons is increasing faster than any other age group. How could anyone claim that the point of incarceration was to incapacitate the truly dangerous when there are more people older than 55 in US prisons (165,000) than there are people in the high-crime range of 18-24? Geriatric healthcare in prison is both disgraceful and expensive. It costs on average, 3x more to incarcerate an older person than a younger one. Governor Andy Beshear could help alleviate the excessive costs mass incarceration has incurred on Kentucky as a proponent for second chances, and providing additional resources to protect public education and access to affordable healthcare-basic rights to the citizens of the Commonwealth. #SecondLookLaws #FreeKarenBrown

Geriatric healthcare in prison is both disgraceful and expensive. It costs on average, 3x more to incarcerate an older person than a younger one. National survey data according to the Prison Policy Initiative show that most victims support violence prevention, social investment, and alternatives to incarceration that address the root causes of crime, not more investment in carceral systems that cause more harm.

Can high school football be made safer? YES! One opportunity is eliminating the kickoff, the most dangerous play in the game for the brain. Dr. Sanjay Gupta and CNN have revealed that the Concussion Legacy Foundation worked with Riverdale Country School and the Metropolitan Independent Football League to eliminate the kickoff for member schools across New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey – and no one misses it! Dropping the kickoff, along with limiting hitting in practice to 15 minutes a week, helped reduce concussions by 33% - moreover, when parents heard about Riverdale's commitment to safety, football signups went up by 18%. We’re calling it S.M.A.R.T.E.R Football (Safer – Modified – Appropriate – Resilient – Trusted – Evidence-Based – Responsible) and any league can implement this model. The one constant about football is that the rules change every year. There is no better reason to change than protecting the brains of these young students. Reach out if you’d like to help your league evolve. Watch the CNN piece here: https://lnkd.in/eynyXXi3

There is a Solution! Education and Training the adults is the only solution to ending these tragic stories every football season. Debating is not a solution, acquiring the ONLY science that identifies, eliminates and replaces the behavior that leads to these tragedies is the only ANSWER. Accountability Counts. California Assembly Bill-1 Youth Football Act was passed in 2018 and enacted in 2021 because of the existence of The Hosea-Method. https://helmet-free-tackle-safety-and-performance-trainin...
