Ep 580: The Alabama Solution

Lock in for our prison industrial complex conversation spurred on by Andrew Jarecki and Charlotte Kaufman's Oscar nominated "The Alabama Solution"! Revisiting a topic also prompted by our episodes on "Sing Sing " and "Where to Invade Next" we get political while examining what Eric Shlosser calls "a set of bureaucratic, political, and economic interests that encourage increased spending on imprisonment, regardless of the actual need" and what Angela Davis described as "a vicious cycle of punishment which only further impoverishes those whose impoverishment is supposedly "solved" by imprisonment."
