One in 100. More than 2.2 million people. That's the number of adult Americans in our prisons. It's a number that's exploded in the last 30 years, since Richard Nixon launched the war on drugs. Guests for this two-part Due Process special are Gov. Byrne, Justice Poritz and former Newark Chief Judge Julien Neals. With Gov. Brendan Byrne and Chief Justice Deborah Poritz in the studio.

Part I – Sandra King and Raymond Brown look at how we got here, and at what cost.

Sunday, June 21 at 9:30 am and 6:30 pm and June 23 at 11:30 pm
