Justice in America is a podcast for everyone interested in criminal justice reform— from those new to the system to experts who want to know more. Each episode we cover a new criminal justice issue. We explain how it works and look at its impact on people, particularly poor people and people of color. We'll also interview activists, practitioners, experts, journalists, organizers, and others, to learn. By the end of the episode, you'll walk away with a better understanding of what drives mass incarceration and what can fix it.
