In the first half of the program, peace organizer Medea Benjamin looks at the Biden Administration's foreign policy, and finds it mainly a disappointment. Then Rebecca Grace and John Gray introduce the Complete Picture Project, an organization that assembles videos of nonviolent offenders facing sentencing, so that a sentencing judge will learn more about an offender's entire life, including family and community connections, rather than only the criminal record.     Notes:   Medea Benjamin is co-founder of the women's peace organization Code Pink; she's also written eight books, including "Inside Iran" and "Kingdom of the Unjust." Her recent article on Biden's foreign policy can be found at progressive.org/dispatches/biden-foreign-policy-ten-problems-davies-benjamin-210313    Rebecca Grace and John Gray are the founders of the Complete Picture Project. Gray himself served a prison term for crimes related to an old drug habit. The organization's web site is www.completepicture.org
