The Life and Times of Vinny Schiraldi, Part Two
On this week’s episode we present the second part of our career-spanning interview with Vinny Schiraldi, currently a visiting fellow with the Pinkerton Foundation. In part one we talked with Schiraldi about his formative years in youth justice and his first job leading a government agency.
We start part two with a job Schiraldi actually didn’t get: leading the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention for the Obama administration. Then we turn to his time leading New York City’s probation, the notorious Rikers Island jail complex, and Maryland’s Department of Juvenile Services. And we conclude with a few big picture questions about policy and practice.
