re: Fascinating post from last night:

I'm sure Marina would kill me for writing - but someone who actually knows her should chime in. Marina's father worked in prison administration in California. She holds college degrees in Criminal Justice and Education. She was a director of Big Brothers - Big Sisters in California and off topic, Shasta County's rep to the Miss California contest several years back. She is very educated, very talented and very dedicated to causes that she believes in. In my view she was a perfect fit for the Juvenile Drug Court position. But she doesn't hold with the position that the function of juvenile justice is limited to control and consequence; rather my experience is that she believes that dignity and education play a role as well. Was she qualified for the job? You bet.
