She shares her story as she serves as co-vice chair of the Anderson County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. Jennifer also shares her perspective as the Chief Circuit Public Defender of the 10th Judicial Circuit in South Carolina; and the log jam inside the court system as the CJCC continues to find ways to reduce the jail population inside an over crowded Anderson County Detention Center.
