- Imagine going to jail because you smoked too much, you had diabetes, or you worked too hard. Think about how fast the healthcare industry moves. Now think about prosecution and criminal justice. There has not been much change there. Healthcare takes care of its patients. What about the people who have been prosecuted and their story? We don’t hear about them. Adam shows how a 19 year old boy he prosecuted died, giving you a new perspective on how we can shape criminal justice today. As former Assistant District Attorney in the Juvenile Division of Suffolk County, Adam Foss has become one of Boston’s leading voices for compassion in criminal justice. Recognizing that prosecutors have a unique opportunity to intervene in offender’s lives, Foss co-founded the Roxbury CHOICE Program, a collaborative effort between defendants, the court, the probation department, and the D.A. to recast probation as a transformative experience rather than a punitive process. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
How is this not everywhere? Please share it with anyone you can. We need change. We need to do better.
Have you also heard his other TED talk? A prosecutor’s vision for a better justice system?
We as American Citizens need to work together instead of pulling against each other.
A step in the right direction. I hope WE can keep this revolutionary idea going.
Although I think people who destroy others’ properties or hurt others physically should pay for the consequences, I do believe they should receive education as early as possible.
Oooh, ohhh ohhh....hurting...and he is the face of many, many similar heartbreaking stories...my prayers are to those, who have tools to prevent this in their hands...i can only pray and believe we will soon all live in a world with no useless and katastrofic losses of children. Blessings for being an eyeopener🙏
Glade I came across Adam Foss His presentation I shared in Australia, I Pray this country will listen to this presentation for Indigenous Australians
he kinda reminds me of the insector in An Inspector Calls... cuz he says "Stevens and Stephanies" .. just like how the inspector says "Eva smiths and John Smiths"
I need this mans help for my brother so much please how do I get in touch with him? Before it is too late?? Please God let me make connection with Adam Foss...I need his help desperately!!!
When I heard "Cape Verde" ... I was 💔... I know what Steven faced...
I subscribed to the TedXTalks channel because of this guy. Thumbs up if you did too.
This is sad.
i agree the current punishment system is too harsh for people like me no joke i have a very fine line between cruelty and punishment
Imagine if
I understand
We need the best tools to help the Stevens
I have behavioral issues as well so I can relate
Remember Koby Hisler
Steven was able to adapt to his environment
THIS IS SO F UNDERRATED WTF!!!!!!!!
this is really such an eye opening that needs to be shared everywhere. I’ve always believed that nobody is born a criminal (unless they have something in their brain that were born with) and that criminals really become criminals from lots of traumatic shi they go through.
But at the same time I got a question,
there are people who become criminals even when they were born in religious and good families, why? (Take ted bundy as an example)
Anyways, if someone attempts to hurt somebody else there’s totally something wrong with them and the solution for that isn’t by making it worse
Make all the corrections officers and administration to get a 10yr contract with the caviat that each person has to earn at least 1 psychology degree and at least 1 masters degree in the same general field.
