In-Care-Ceration Episode 6: Care Reform, Care Otherwise

In this episode we explore ways that people are working to build a more caring and care-full world, and to address the harms of our carceral systems whether they are prisons, jails, or hospitals. Some of the people we talk to are interested in engaging with Washington State to change systems, and others are more interested in finding ways to do care otherwise, outside of state systems. This episode features the words of Scout Smedley, SYP, Cindi Fisher, Joshua Wallace, Lauara Van Tosh, Chris Carney, Shaun Glaze, and LeTania Severe, as well as Patreece Spence. We'd like to dedicate this episode, and the whole series to those who lost their lives or their loved ones' lives – physically or socially - to carceral systems; and to all who have devoted their lives to creating a more just, caring future, one where we aren't relying on cages or confinement to solve social problems. Thank you! In-Care-Ceration was written and produced by Leah Montange and Meredith Ruff.
