This episode will be much different from the others. As opposed to the usual format where the conversation goes on a different tangent, this will be a more focused conversation. As you can see, the title of this episode is Private Prisons. Eric joins me for this episode. In this episode, we briefly dive into the history of private prisons from their early concept to policies that continue to support it. We speak about what led to the rampant use of private prisons as well as what led to its decrease as states began to stop using private prisons. We did not go into as much detail since this would require far more research and more time. I hope you enjoy this episode and that you learn something out of it.
