For this latest installation of the Year Zero series we're joined by long time researchers, teachers, and prison abolitionists Craig and Ruth Wilson Gilmore, to help us think through the carceral state: what it is, where it's heading, and how we can change it.

Please read Ruthie's book, Golden Gulag: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520242012/golden-gulag

And Craig's Real Cost of Prisons graphic novel, from which today's episode art was taken: http://www.realcostofprisons.org/prison_town.pdf
