Sam and Emma host author and activist Victoria Law to discuss her new book, “Prisons Make Us Safer”: And 20 Other Myths about Mass Incarceration, on how our perception of incarceration has been wrong from the start. Sam, Emma and Victoria explore our carceral state and how racism and social control are the catalysts for mass incarceration and have continued to be its driving force.
And in the Fun Half: new office rule at MR: we’re saying the pledge of allegiance like Michael Flynn (badly), Raygun’s sending billable hours for watching David Pakman’s IG, an update from 24-year old schoolboard member Alex in the Poconos, a clean slate for policing debate, Stephanie Ruhle says what about rich people, Kelly Loeffler’s voting rights group is not working out for her, a reformed libertarian on how MR showed him the light, plus your calls and IMs!
