A New Framework: The MFn Solution to Mass Incarceration

---

 The United States is mired in a mass incarceration crisis that overwhelmingly affects Black Americans. Our criminal justice system isn’t just broken; it’s fundamentally stacked against the marginalized communities it’s meant to protect. Through over a decade of practicing criminal defense, teaching criminal justice, leading social justice initiatives, and holding lawyers and judges accountable for their actions and inactions regarding the rights of the Disproportionately Affected, Marginalized Minority (D.A.M.M.) Community, I’ve witnessed this injustice firsthand. This journey led to the creation of the MFn Framework, a proactive solution rooted in the mission of emeffen., a pioneering business committed to challenging harmful systems to create meaningful change. While Michelle Alexander’s seminal work, “The New Jim Crow,” exposed these inequities in 2006, real progress has been sluggish. It’s time for a new framework that emphasizes proactive strategies, and the MFn Solution offers just that.
