Incarcerated people and their loved ones navigate a complex system of guidelines, grids, indeterminate sentencing review boards, and more. We'll learn about Washington's draconian sentencing practices and laws that doubled its incarceration rate, instituting life and long sentences, disproportionately affecting Indigenous peoples and people of color. This episode features an interview with Dan Berger, a historian of activism, Black power, prisons and the carceral state.
