Drugs: Re-Examining Public Policy (#502)

Drugs, even hard drugs, they continue to be out of control. While law enforcement hasn't come close to winning the war on drugs, the picture of the typical drug user has changed too. And so, controversial calls for a change in public policy have increased too.

Decriminalization? Legalization? Tougher drug laws? This edition of Due Process will bring together two major New Jersey leaders, Brendan Byrne, former Governor, prosecutor and judge; and Robert DelTufo, former US Attorney and State Attorney General, to talk about whether it's time for new answers.

The show will begin with a video portrait of a Harvard graduate turned heroin addict who has written a book that tells her story.

Guests:

Brendan Byrne
Former Governor, prosecutor and judge

Robert DelTufo
Former US Attorney and State Attorney General
