Ep 5: Mass Incarceration and the Prison Industrial Complex

  • サマリー

  • In 1865 the 13th amendment abolished slavery in the United States but left an exception for its use as punishment for a crime. Today that clause has been exploited by private prisons that run as for-profit, publicly-traded entities that profit financially by incarcerating people and keeping them there. The prison industrial complex is the landscape of stakeholders that has cemented around the prison system for the pupose of extracting wealth and maintaining its own existence. Today we talk with Robert Craig of Abolish Private Prisons about what happens when a society incentivizes the incarceration of its inhabitants and what we can do to help put an end to this destructive practice.
