This week, we're presenting two stories about incarceration, and its intersections with science. Part 1: Looking to make an impact with science, Beverly Naigles and her fellow graduate students decide to teach a science class for incarcerated men at a nearby jail. Part 2: Incarcerated for robbery at the age of 21, Khalil Cumberbatch learns about the neuroscience of brain development after his release and begins to question how the system handles younger offenders. Beverly Naigles is a PhD student in quantitative biology at UC San Diego, originally from rural Connecticut. Her research focuses on how seemingly-identical cells can respond differently to external signals. In addition to her research, she enjoys doing science-related art and making science accessible to the general public. For fun, she likes to hike, run, swim, and bake. Khalil Cumberbatch is a nationally recognized formerly incarcerated advocate for criminal justice and deportation policy reform. Currently, he is the director of strategic partnerships for the Council on Criminal Justice. Previously, he served as Chief Strategist at New Yorkers United for Justice and as Associate Vice President of Policy at Fortune Society. Pardoned by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in 2014, Khalil earned a Master's Degree in Social Work from CUNY Lehman College, where he was awarded the Urban Justice Award for his work with underserved and marginalized communities. Khalil is also a lecturer at Columbia University.

Today on the Eye on NY podcast: My guest: Khalil Cumberbatch, chief strategist for New Yorkers United for Justice. Cumberbatch joined me to discuss New York's bail reform law that took effect Jan. 1 and to address the misinformation that's out there about the law. Assemblyman Gary Finch announces his retirement. I'll have an update on who's running for his seat. Some thoughts on the Iowa Caucus. Is it time to ditch the caucuses?
“I had successfully completed parole, started a family, began a business, was working hard, and was one week away from completing a Master’s Degree in Social Work – at the top of my class in CUNY Lehman College – when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) came to my home to detain me,” wrote Khalil Cumberbatch, associate vice president of policy at the David Rothenberg Center for Public Policy at The Fortune Society in an open letter to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio published on his organization’s website back in January. In this installment of "Leonard Lopate at Large," Khalil shares his harrowing story and tells Leonard about the work he does at The Fortune Society to help out other immigrants in a similar position to where he was just a few years ago.
Fact: More than 100,000 individuals in the US are held in private prisons and private immigration detention centers. These institutions are criticized for making money off mass incarceration―$5 billion every year―and have become a focus of the anti-mass incarceration movement. The Department of Justice under President Obama attempted to cut off private prisons, while DOJ under Trump has embraced these institutions. Few journalists or scholars have seen these prisons firsthand―until now. Join Lauren-Brooke Eisen―senior counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice―for the launch of her new book, Inside Private Prisons, as she reflects on her unprecedented access to our nation’s private penal system and what she’s uncovered about these corporate prisons. She will be joined by criminal justice journalist Eli Hager from The Marshall Project, investigate journalist Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Khalil Cumberbatch from The Fortune Society, and NPR correspondent Ailsa Chang.

Khalil Cumberbatch is the Manager of Trainings at JustLeadership USA, Columbia University Lecturer, husband and father to two young daughters. Khalil was sentenced to 11 years in New York State for a robbery in his early 20's. In this episode Khalil goes from telling us about his journey from Guyana as a child, to growing up in Southside, Jamaica, Queens, to his hostility with his father, to his love for his daughters. Khalil exhibits tremendous insight into his experiences. After his incarceration, Khalil was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and faced deportation back to Guyana one week before he was to graduate from a Master Degree in Social Work. Thankfully, he was one of two recipients of an Executive Pardon from NYS Governor Cuomo to prevent his deportation.
