Americans make up 25% of the global prison population.  We live in a virtual pandemic of U.S. citizens who live their lives in 6ft. x 8ft. cells.  Is this a crime against humanity or a strong commitment to keep law abiding citizens safe?  

On this episode we will talk about the real-time components, ambivalence and de facto-ambivalence, that make crime management in America an abysmal failure.  Then we will talk to a former gang member about his experiences, which have consumed more than half of his adult life.
