...14 min - 47: Leading from the Front - Interview w/Paul Young
In today's episode, I sit down with Paul Young, a retired Major with the Missouri Department of Corrections. Paul, now 85, retired with 34 years working for the DOC and almost 40 years in Law Enforcement in total. Although Paul saw many changes during his career, he was able to adapt and thrive. From working at Missouri State Penitentiary in the 1960s & 70s to running bloodhounds on manhunts that made the national news, Paul's story is as interesting as it is varied.

...15 min - 46: Social Order of The Underworld - Interview w/David Skarbek
Today’s guest is David Skarbek, an Associate Professor of Political Science and Political Economy at Brown University. He is also the author of two books:
The Social Order of the Underworld: How Prison Gangs Govern the American Penal System
The Puzzle of Prison Order: Why Life Behind Bars Varies Around the World
When many people outside the prison system think of prison gangs, they think of chaotic bands of violent, racist thugs. Few people think of gangs as sophisticated organizations (often with elaborate written constitutions) that regulate the social and economic life of the prison. Yet as David argues, gangs form to create order among outlaws, producing alternative governance institutions to facilitate their illegal activity. David studies the political economy of these gangs within our prisons globally and his works have appeared in both economics and political science journals. If you haven’t read them yet, his books are also a great reference for all correctional officers.Send us Fan Mail
