*Overcriminalized*
**
A very short documentary about three innovative community-police 
programs that are less expensive and may actually change lives. Stay for 
a discussion about how the issues of mental illness, homelessness, and 
substance abuse can be addressed in the nation, in Illinois, and in our 
own communities. It's time to roll back mass incarceration and focus on 
what works.
