In dieser Folge erkläre ich die Hintergründe dieses Podcasts und erzähle ein bisschen zu meinen Motivationen und warum das US-Gefängnissystem abgeschafft gehört. Begriffe wie Mass Incarceration, War on Drugs, Prison Labor, sowie der Unterschied zwischen State und Federal Prisons und warum Gefängnisse oft als modern slavery bezeichnet werden, erkläre ich hier.
