The Rev. Al Sharpton paid a call on John Jayon March 17, where he challenged studentsand others to help close the gap in treatment ofpeople based on race.“Institutional inequality in the United Stateshasn’t changed just because we’ve elected ablack president,” said Sharpton, who ran forpresident himself in 2004.At some point, you must have the courageto get in the game, to get involved,” he said,calling on students to “help formulate an agendathat will make this all work in your time, in yourgeneration.”Taking note of his surroundings — the nation’spremier college of criminal justice — Sharptontook issue with those who suggest that he andhis civil rights organization, the National ActionNetwork, are anti-police. “There’s a misnomerthat we are anti-police because we are againstpolice brutality,” Sharpton said. “We are no moreanti-police than every cop who arrests a criminalin a minority neighborhood is anti-minority.”President Jeremy Travis traveled to Washing-ton, DC, on March 12 to participate in a week-long series of hearings by a House Appropriationssubcommittee on prisoner reentry and othercriminal justice challenges.“Our nation has never before witnessed thephenomenon of prisoner reentry at the scalewe see today,” Travis told members of the Sub-committee on Commerce, Justice, Science andRelated Agencies. “There is a simple explanation:More people are coming home because we areputting more people in prison.”The people coming home from prison — 90percent of them male — face significant barriersto their reintegration, Travis said, and in manycases their return places huge burdens on urbanlocalities already struggling with poor schools,poor health care and weak labor markets.Travis said the historic Second Chance Act,passed with broad bipartisan support last year,has made an enormous difference in the nation’s“If you have a hostility or disconnect betweenpolice and the community, it makes the police job that much more difficult,” noted Sharpton,who has been an invited speaker at recent policerecruitment rallies.Citing a number of cases of police brutalityor excessive use of force, including the shootingof Sean Bell outside a Queens nightclub andthe sodomizing of Abner Louima at a Brooklyn

approach to the reentry issue, but federal fund-ing for reentry initiatives remains woefully inad-equate. “The point is obvious,” said Travis. “Ifthe federal government wishes to make a signifi-cant change in the experience of people leavingprison, much more money will be needed.”Noting that recent and ongoing research hasprovided volumes of information on which inter-vention approaches work to promote prisonerreintegration, Travis told the subcommittee: “Weshould now marshal our resources to fund thoseinterventions and to insist that all reentry pro-grams meet a standard of proven effectiveness.”Travis urged Congress to provide support forseveral promising innovations, including offendernotification forums, comprehensive interagencyinitiatives, reentry courts and community-basedinterventions. Such efforts, he said, “represent anew frontier in reentry innovation.”

Travis Talks Reentry with House Committee
Sharpton: “It’s Time to Get Involved”
It’s no secret that John Jay is acollege filled with high-achievingstudents. LaKisha Hoffman, a28-year-old undergraduate,is looking to add her nameto the list, but in a ratherunconventional way: She andher sister are contestants on thepopular TV reality show “TheAmazing Race.”LaKisha, a youth programcoordinator and basketballcoach, recently transferred toJohn Jay from Western IllinoisUniversity. Both she and her24-year-old sister, Jennifer, areformer Division I college athletes,and they are hoping to becomethe first all-female team to win the around-the-world race.“The same strengths that make me a goodcoach — patience and a strong competitivenature — will ultimately make me the best racerthe game has seen,” LaKisha said.The race was completed as this issue went topress, but the competitors are strictly prohibitedfrom divulging any details as to the contest’soutcome. In one recent episode, the Hoffmansisters and other racers found themselves inNovosibirsk, Russia — 400 miles inside theSiberian heartland. There, they faced a series ofchallenges that included driving a balky, four-speed Lada sedan over snowy streets to take aRussian bride to her wedding.In another challenge, Jennifer was requiredto pair up with two local runners for a 1.4-mile jog to the local ballet and opera theater. Therewas just one hitch: she had to complete the runSiberian-style — in her underwear. Fortunatelythe weather was a balmy 27 degrees Fahrenheit,and Jennifer stripped down without hesitating,asking those around her, “Don’t I look hot?”Prior to “The Amazing Race,” neither LaKishanor her sister had traveled extensively outside ofthe United States. To them, the race is a “journeyof a lifetime.”

Steamboat Is In, and Wallace Is Aboard
Student Council President Wins Prestigious Summer Scholarship
Congratulations are in order to Shaheen Wal-lace, president of the John Jay Student Council,for winning the prestigious Steamboat Founda-tion Summer Scholarship. He topped a field ofmore than 300 eligible students to become thethird John Jay student to win the coveted honor.Like the two winners who preceded him —Abdoulaye Diallo in 2007, and Amanda Ingle in2008 — Wallace, a junior government major, willbe partnered with the Center for Court Innova-tion (CCI) for the three-month paid internship.The scholarship provided by the Greenwich,CT-based Steamboat Foundation allows out-standing students to connect with acknowledgedleaders in public, private and nonprofit organiza-tions. John Jay’s Office of Honors, Awards andSpecial Opportunities identified 315 eligiblestudents — those expected to graduate in 2010and carrying a current GPA of at least 3.5 — andinvited them to apply. Litna McNickle, the office’sdirector, said the process of paring down the fieldwas “very rigorous.”The office held workshops on résumé writing,crafting personal statements, how to dress forsuccess, and more. The goal was to find candi-dates who were self-motivated and possessedfirst-rate writing skills, among other traits, ac-cording to McNickle.“It’s a good way to insure that we have vettedvery strong, capable students who are going toperform well as Steamboat Scholars,” she said.Wallace underwent a series of nine interviews,including sessions with John Jay President JeremyTravis and Adam Mansky, the director of CCI.“I’ve never done anything that draining in mylife,” he said. “It’s not for the faint-hearted, andit’s definitely a test of character. But after I wasdone, it was really a great feeling.”Wallace has his sights set on attending lawschool and becoming a federal prosecutor.

stationhouse, Sharpton said the basis of protestshe has led is that “you cannot let this kind ofbehavior go unchecked.”The civil rights leader called for the creation ofa special section within the U.S. Department ofJustice to deal specifically with police misconduct.“It is only when you break out of local andcounty politics that you can get a measure of justice,” he observed.

The McCabe Fellowship Breakfast held onMarch 13 turned into a homecoming of sorts,with a former honoree and a former McCabeFellow among those who traveled from Ireland toattend the annual celebration at John Jay.The event celebrates the exchange programcreated in memory of Irish police detective JerryMcCabe, who was killed in the line of duty dur-ing an attempted robbery in June 1996. Eachyear, two or more members of An Garda Siochá-na, the Irish national police, come to John Jay foran intensive course of study toward a graduatedegree.Former keynote speaker and honoree NiallBurgess, the Irish consul general in New York, at-tended the McCabe breakfast and offered greet-ings in which he observed that the connectionbetween John Jay and the Republic of Ireland ispart of the “mighty strength that links our twocountries.”And, in a nod to those at the event who ac-knowledged wearing green only one day a year— on St. Patrick’s Day — Burgess said, “We’re allIrish in God’s eyes.”Also bringing greetings to McCabe attendeeswas Detective Superintendent Orla McPartlin of
SIMPLY OUTSTANDING
An Garda, who earned a master’s degree fromJohn Jay as one of the first McCabe scholars,from 1997-1998. She now heads the policeservice’s international liaison section.Professor Bettina Murray, a member of theJohn Jay Foundation board, introduced themorning’s keynote speaker and honoree, SeánAylward, Secretary General of the Irish Ministryof Justice, as the “steady hand on the tiller thatkeeps the Ministry of Justice on course.” Aylwardnoted the violent deaths of two British soldiersand an Irish police constable in the week prior tothe McCabe breakfast, and said the murderedpeacekeepers had “left behind a community thatdoesn’t want to return to the days of violence.”Citing the words of John Jay, Aylward ob-served, “Wise rulers will recognize that the bestway to frustrate the efforts of those who wouldtear us apart through violence is by unity of pur-pose.” He called on police to exercise moral andlegal leadership while employing a minimum useof force.This year’s McCabe scholars are Gardaí JohnGriffin, a graduate student in public administra-tion, and Emer Clarke, who is pursing a master’sin criminal justice.

 A Criminal Injustice: A True Crime, aFalse Confession, and the Fight to Free Marty Tankleff 
, co-authored by Firstman and former NYPDdetective Jay Salpeter (right). The book tells the story of Tankleff’s wrongful conviction and 17-yearimprisonment for the murders of his parents. He was freed in 2007, largely on the strength of newevidence unearthed by Salpeter.Distinguished Professor Saul Kassin (rear), an expert in false confessions, moderated the event, tellingthe audience, “This is a crazy case about how powerful a confession can be when it’s accompanied byno other evidence.” Salpeter, a John Jay alumnus (BA, 1978) who spent seven years working to getTankleff exonerated and freed, said Tankleff, then just 17 years old, was arrested by the lead detectivein the case to protect the actual killer. “Not one thing in this case was properly investigated,” he said.Firstman said everything in Tankleff’s “so-called confession” ended up being disproven.
