Are you thinking about justice reform? | Dan Satterberg | TEDxWashingtonCorrectionsCenterforWomen 2015

Dan Satterberg asks us to think about the by products of mass incarceration and whether we will continue to build and fill prisons or seek solution strategies for reform. He suggests that the criminal justice system, judges, legislators, prosecutors, and citizens step back and look more broadly at the collateral consequences of incarceration and investigate alternatives for each. Dan Satterberg was elected King County Prosecuting Attorney in Washington state in November 2007. The Prosecuting Attorney’s Office employs more than 225 attorneys, 240 staff, and has a budget of nearly $68 million. Before 1990, Dan was a trial attorney in the Criminal Division, where he spent rotations in the Special Assault Unit, Drug Unit, and served as the office’s first gang prosecutor in 1988. Dan was born and raised in South King County and attended Highline High School. He graduated from the University of Washington Law School, where he met his wife Linda, a corporate lawyer.
