      3. There’s no logical reason to make the county the border for the DA. Seems so much more logical to, say, have one DA for the city, and one or more for the ring suburbs. (Economies of scale suggest not one per suburb, but let the suburbs work that out.)

      4. Urban-based DAs will be smarter-on-crime, more sophisticated DAs bc their electorate actually has to balance the costs of enforcement more. They benefit from drops in crime but feel the harms of excess.

      5. In fact, some studies have shown that blacks and whites are often equally punitive, but for v different reasons: whites (less exposed to crime) are morally harsh, while blacks (disproportionate exposure) are far more instrumental. Give instrumentalists more say!

      6. Anyway, this is an all-too-common pattern. Kim Foxx, for ex, won Chicago 65-35 but the ring suburbs 55-45. In the last few weeks of that election, Alvarez held every event in the suburbs. That’s where the harsh candidate still has the best shot.

      7. The jurisdictional line for the prosecutor: another one of those unexciting technocratic structural defects of criminal justice that aren’t riveting to talk about but are hugely consequential. And as far as I know, not even remotely part of the conversation.

      Terrific point. But what should we do about it? Get state legislatures to pass a bill changing DA elections to municipal elections? (And how will that work in rural counties?) Chances of that seem close to zero.

      In some cases, may even require a state constitutional amendment (the bar is much lower than fed). Yeah, this is one of those hail-Mary ideas. But we should at least start talking abt it so ppl can think of other more-plausible approaches.

      One consistent criticism of Locked In was that my last chapter on possible fixes was the weakest. My reply? “I agree!!” No one is really talking abt how to approach many of these structural problems, so I don’t have any great answers. If we all start talking, tho....

      Maybe the foundation I work for should sponsor a conference for "Hail Mary ideas" for ending mass incarceration. I'd be open to that.

      That would be really cool--some sort of criminal justice moon-shot convention. We def need incremental approaches, but think we also need to think big sometimes too.

      I could come up with a scheme that involves blockchain, it would get major VC funding
