Judge Frederic Block on the Moral Duties and Real-Life Stories of Prison Reform

<p>The First Step Act in 2018 included provisions for non-violent federal inmates to petition for early release or reductions in their sentences. How to determine whether to grant or deny those requests is what U.S. District Court Judge Frederic Block explores in his new book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Second-Chance-Federal-Decides-Deserves/dp/1620978873/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2CW3Q8SEDHOQN&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sFxqVnbTlzeXQzgkkYwAaEnRWU8_CGOqt467-gibH-rujOuJiB69qsBftmVwLoUznErLznDv7IqMmR5I9NM9ndwb2t7KRgaDg6XzAlsD1tb-BnkJusbSjoRmZyIvzLBJBMu78Sq5lujj9a79CtKhye-kZA0onFHeyFEFemg2giiSXOROWxoppPrg2JmpXkNpkefHt97vtVZGMslgUHzBbvHsmsxEvX0NhKL6HO2J2tg.CFOGCzvO5ZtBklU628-6jYW42npA5ZlujFi1vm9eCLA&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=frederic+block&amp;qid=1732569725&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=frederic+block%2Cstripbooks%2C123&amp;sr=1-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>A Second Chance</em></a>, which features his experiences with six prisoners who came to him asking for their release. Judge Frederic Block talks to Ryan on today’s episode about how he morally views his role as a judge, why the First Step Act is crucial with the federal inmate population, and his life as a working judge at 90 years old.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Judge Frederic Block is a U.S. District Court judge for the Eastern District of New York.

AJ Jacobs on His Year of Living Constitutionally (Muskets and Tricorne Hats Included)

<p>There have been few changes and additions to the United States Constitution since it was ratified in 1788, despite life being wildly different now a few centuries later.
