States are finding new ways to get smart on crime and, in the process, changing how America views crime and punishment. After decades of rising prison populations, reforms in 33 states have helped cut the national incarceration rate by 13 percent since 2007.

Host Dan LeDuc speaks with Adam Gelb, director of Pew\u2019s public safety performance project, as well as two leaders in South Carolina\u2014state Senator Gerald Malloy (D), who has led his state\u2019s reform efforts; and Bryan Stirling, state corrections director, who is implementing these transformative changes.
