Following the heels of the previous episode, "Private Prisons" this episode focuses on the phenomenon of Mass Incarceration in the United States. Eric and I discuss what sort of events led to the rise of mass incarceration. From the drug war to mandatory minimum sentencing they established a system that utterly destroyed many lives especially BIPOC, poor, homeless, and those with mental illness. We touch on the "Revolving Door" phenomena; which perpetuates the continued criminalization of those that have a history with the criminal justice system. I hope you enjoy this episode.
