Scott Stern is a scholar, author & public interest lawyer who was launched into a 7-year investigation into the buried history of The American Plan, the mass incarceration of women during the First World War deemed “suspicious” all for the sake of containing venereal disease. And the laws that permitted the round-up….still exist today. You’ll hear why no one has ever heard of this, how women were identified & medicated, financial incentives for incarceration, quarantine & hospital payoffs & what Dave Ramsey & rapper TI have in common.
