North Carolina failed to evacuate prisoners during Hurricane Helene

<a href="https://therealnews.com/rattling-the-bars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rattling the Bars</a> puts the voices of the people most harmed by our system of mass incarceration at the center of our reporting on the fight to end it. The show was founded by the late Black Panther and political prisoner Marshall “Eddie” Conway, and is now hosted by Charles Hopkins, better known as Mansa Musa, who himself spent 48 years behind bars. Rattling the Bars offers an honest look at the lives of prisoners, returning citizens, their families, and their communities. With Rattling the Bars, by presenting hard data and real-life stories, we examine and seek to shift public opinion around the misconception that incarceration, punishment, and increased policing make cities safer—the truth of which has been disproven by countless studies. The series examines the history and root causes of the current so-called justice system. It showcases individuals and communities nationwide who are grappling with real solutions to problems created by the prison-industrial complex. <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/rattling-the-bars--4799829/support" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Help us continue producing Rattling the Bars by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.</a> <a href="https://therealnews.com/eos-pod-subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sign up for our newsletter</a>
