In this week’s podcast, we sit down with Podcast Manager Bhavik Menon and Calista Kayatta, a freshman studying Classical Languages and Plan II, who is passionate about access to justice and constitutional interpretation. Calista walks us through the little-known practice of “diesel therapy,” where private prison transport companies maximize profit by subjecting prisoners to long, meandering trips and inhumane conditions. She explains how these practices may violate the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment, explores why many legal claims fail, and discusses the role of profit incentives in shaping the treatment of prisoners.
