This week, we sample a few of our favorite episodes on the important topic of criminal justice. We start with Bianca Tylek who gives us a history lesson on how today's criminal justice system evolved from slavery and the Black Codes. Then, we hear from Jason Flom on wrongful convictions and the sheer scale of our carceral state. Finally, we close out with the story of Adnan Kahn who was imprisoned under The Felony Murder Rule and then worked to overturn that same legislation.

Around the world, millions of people are struggling with mental health and addiction issues, and we've barely moved the needle on treatment methods for these populations. There have been many people who have benefited from the medicinal uses of psychedelic treatments, but there is still a stigma and lack of legalization around these very useful substances.
