This show is made possible by you!  To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateThe notorious Rikers, a 10-jail complex situated on an island in the East River of New York City, has become a national symbol and a symptom of our current approach to crime. The jail has over 6,000 inmates — the majority of whom are awaiting trial because they can't afford bail — living in unconstitutionally inhumane conditions, a federal court once ruled. In October 2019, the New York City Council passed, and then Mayor Bill de Blasio signed into law, a plan to permanently close Rikers and replace the jails with four borough facilities by August 2027. But the proposed closure has hit roadblocks — from the left, from the right, from the prison guards union and from concerned residents who live near where new jails would be built. Although many support the Rikers closure, there is little agreement as to how and when — or what should replace it. Why is it so difficult to make changes to our challenged carceral system? Joining Laura to discuss the local and national implications of this story are Journalist Nick Pinto, co-founder of Hell Gate, a worker-owned news outlet covering New York City, and New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, who helped pass the law to close the jail. Elected Public Advocate last fall, he is now the prime sponsor of legislation that would ban solitary confinement in city jails.“. . . The education that's necessary to bring the voting public along with this sort of change is difficult. It's especially difficult in the face of a concerted fear mongering campaign.” - Nick Pinto“This is the first time I've seen a population of folks in the city and the state who are ready to receive a conversation that's holistic around public safety. And we're squandering it.” - Public Advocate Jumaane WilliamsGuests:Nick Pinto: NYC Journalist & Co-Founder, Hell GateJumaane D.

In this episode I speak with Claire, a community based social worker with experience initially in mental health before moving into the field of criminal justice. She has predominantly provided long term case management and support for women as they transition from prison back into the community. Claire is a strong advocate for assisting people to develop pathways and identities outside of the criminal justice system to reduce the numbers of people, particularly First Nations peoples cycling in and out of our prisons.

Description: In 2020, the authorities at the Louisiana State Penitentiary (better known as Angola, for the former plantation on which it stands) shut down a play in the middle of a performance.  What happened in that audience of incarcerated men that got guards so concerned? That's the subject of “Angola Do You Hear Us? Voices From a Plantation Prison," (2023 Oscar Short-Listed) a new MTV documentary directed and edited by Cinque Northern (My Name is Pauli Murray) and produced by Catherine Gund. Award-winning actress and writer, Liza Jessie Peterson, (HBO's Def Poetry, Ava Duvernay's 13th), whose one-woman show was shut down that day, and Norris Henderson, a former inmate who'd worked with her to bring the show, join Laura to reflect on the intersection of art and politics, incarceration and economics, and the work of VOTE, the criminal justice reform group Henderson founded upon his release.

As most observers are well aware by now, the US incarcerates a much higher proportion of its population than any other nation. In Jeffrey Bellin's book, “Mass Incarceration Nation,” he conceives of the system as having two distinct levels. The criminal justice system where the public seeks “justice” in response to serious crimes like murder and rape. And the criminal legal system, “where the government enforces a variety of laws ostensibly to achieve certain policy goals, like reducing drug abuse or gun violence or illegal immigration.” Bellin argues that while the increase in those serious crimes in the 1970s and 1980s did lead to a tough on crime crack down, “Increasing the penalties for crime in this country didn't end crime.” Instead, it ebbs and lfows as it has. But what has changes is that our “tough on crime” policies have now filled prisons with a “small percentage but growing number of unlucky ‘criminals'” and once there, “tougher laws and tougher officials made sure they stayed locked up.”

Like, ‘Oh, she's talking about me. That was similar to my circumstance.' The bigger picture of the prison industrial complex, they got it. That this is a plantation by every definition of a plantation, you're working the field from sun up to sun down.” - Norris Henderson“The time I spent with the incarcerated adolescent boys at Rikers Island really ignited something in me . . .

The United States imprisons a higher proportion of its population than any other nation. Mass Incarceration Nation offers a novel, in-the-trenches perspective to explain the factors - historical, political, and institutional - that led to the current system of mass imprisonment. Jeffrey Bellin's book Mass Incarceration Nation: How the United States Became Addicted to Prisons and Jails and How it Can Recover (Cambridge UP, 2022) examines the causes and impacts of mass incarceration on both the political and criminal justice systems. With accessible language and straightforward statistical analysis, former prosecutor turned law professor Jeffery Bellin provides a formula for reform to return to the low incarceration rates that characterized the United States prior to the 1970s. Stephen Pimpare is director of the Public Service & Nonprofit Leadership program and Faculty Fellow at the Carsey School of Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire.

We have another bumper episode for you all to chow down on! I think the first half of the show is pretty fun, but with our usual emotional whiplash, the back half of the show has a few content warnings. There are discussions of police violence against Indigenous people, discussing people who have died, and discussion of DV and sexual assault. We've mentioned it in the show before each story and there are timecodes below for you to skip. This week we're serving up... Entree/Blurst Take: Barnaby won't be bullied about climate policy / it was our fourth hottest winter ever  SPOTW: Cringe of the Week goes to Dr Queen Victoria with a lay-up assist to Nys! But the worst post of the week goes to Family Voice for their Fathers' Day photo competition.  Positivity Corner: We have actual positivity corners! Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action sue the NSW EPA; Queensland moves to decriminalise sex work; Srsly Wrong who are our idols are definitely aware of who we are; and Noon's orange tree has finally fruited after several years.  First Nations (CW 35:30): Zac watched Incarceration Nation and reports back about the film and some of the debate that it has raised.  Coronas: There's a UK deal for vaccines and people aren't going to their appointments. But the real news is that the Government totally abandoned their responsibility and has allowed coronavirus to get into prisons. The way they're dealing with it is also bad. Also an Indigenous man has died of Coronavirus for the first time since the pandemic began.   Fashy Australia / Mains (CW 1:03:30): It's a misogyny round-up. John Setka gets worse by the day, as does the Federal Government, who are refusing to implement recommendations for women's safety.  And you'll have to listen to the end for our Pupdate!  If you like the show please consider supporting us financially: www.patreon.com/AuspolSnackpod

In this episode Chole explores the icon that is Iris Apfel.  Iris is one of the most vivacious personalities in the worlds of fashion, textiles, and interior design, and over the past 40 years, she has cultivated a personal style that is both witty and exuberantly idiosyncratic. By her own confession she has become an ‘Accidental Icon' with almost 2m IG followers at 100 years old.  Recommendations from Chole this week included Leigh Sales 4 part series “Why Women Are Angry” on ABC iview.  Jussy recommended, Incarceration Nation - exposes the racist foundations of policing and imprisonment in Australia. You can find it on SBS on demand and we highly recommend it for all allies! 

In almost all Australian states and territories, children as young as ten can be charged with a crime and given a sentence behind bars. Indigenous children make up two thirds of those between the ages of 10 and 13 who are behind bars. SBS News has spoken to an Aboriginal boy from Western Australian who was locked away when he was just ten years old, to understand how that experience shaped his life thereafter. - Во речиси сите австралиски држави и територии, деца на возраст од десет години можат да бидат обвинети за кривично дело и да добијат казна зад решетки. Домородните деца сочинуваат две третини од оние на возраст од 10 до 13 години кои се зад решетки. SBS News разговараше со едно Абориџинско момче од Западна Австралија, кое било затворено кога имало само десет години, за да разбере како тоа искуство го обликувало неговиот живот потоа.

Припадници аутохтоних народа могу да очекују краћи животни век, слабије здравствено стање, низак степен образовања и незапосленост, као и висок проценат смртности међу децом, за разлику од остатка грађана Аустралије који нису абориџинског порекла.

In almost all Australian states and territories, children as young as ten can be charged with a crime and given a sentence behind bars. - Di hampir semua negara bagian dan teritori Australia, anak-anak berusia sepuluh tahun dapat didakwa melakukan kejahatan dan dijatuhi hukuman penjara dibalik terali besi

Hey fam! We're back! Thanks for tuning into another episode that asks us all the same confusing question. Are we adulting yet?! This week Dali and JQ dive into a topic that they feel all adults should be having. Growing up means learning from your mistakes and to keep being better than we were before. But for some of us, our mistakes stay with us for the rest of our lives. The prison system is a place that is definitely needed, but it is also a place with many flaws. And people are dramatically negatively impacted by these flaws. Becoming more aware of the problems that these institutions face will hopefully spark change. And talking about the issues is always a good first step to getting there. Wanna listen to us on YouTube?

Thank you so much to all of our listeners --- We are now broadcasting in over 42 countries around the globe. On this new smokin’ hot episode of Light ‘Em Up we focus our attention on the 3 C’s of The Criminal Justice System: The Cops, Courts and Corrections. Our episode is entitled: Incarceration Nation: Perspectives from the parent of an incarcerated child. 2.3 million people are incarcerated in the U.S. Does this make any sense?Does it make us safer? Has it served to criminalize poverty which disproportionately impacts on people of communities of color? Very few people ever inquire how a parent is doing, what are their personal stress levels and how have they suffered by having a child that is incarcerated. In our time together, we drill down on many of the different impacts that a parent suffers that has a child that is incarcerated. We hear so often about how children suffer when a parent is sent to prison and nearly 6 million kids in the U.S. are impacted directly by parental incarceration --- having a parent sent to prison or in jail at some point in their lives --- more so for African Americans, who in 2017 were imprisoned at nearly six times the rate for whites and nearly double the rate for Hispanics.We purposely withheld the last name of our guest so as to maintain his privacy. Kevin expressed how important it is for the youth to listen to their parents and pay attention and learn from others’ mistakes.His son suffered with mental health issues early on in his adolescence – he was suspended from school in kindergarten. His medicine was never properly monitored or leveled out. He was labeled a “bad kid” --- and diagnosed with attention deficit disorder and oppositional defiance issues. In this episode we addressed issues regarding:● Monetary bail and jail.● The fact that those we do not educate we typically incarcerate.● “E-jail” or electronic monitoring.● If the correctional system does anything to rehabilitate inmates.● COVID-19 and being locked up. ● J-Pay and the hidden costs of being in prison. ● Ban the Box.● And turning a parent’s anguish into purpose. Thank you so much for subscribing to our podcast. Without our listeners we would not have been able to achieve the success that we have. I hope you enjoy this episode. With respect, Phil Rizzo Programming Director

This time Chris is joined by his collaborator, political scientist Peter Enns. They get into Peter's work examining how how policy can be informed by public opinion in such areas as mass incarceration and unerstanding election resutls. He also explains why it's a good time for criminal justice reform. Peter K. Enns is an associate professor in the Department of Government and executive director of the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research at Cornell University. His research focuses on public opinion, representation, mass incarceration and inequality.

Peter K. Enns is the author of Incarceration Nation: How the United States Became the Most Punitive Democracy in the World (Cambridge University Press, 2016). Enns is Associate Professor in the Department of Government and Executive Director of the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research at Cornell University. The rise of mass incarceration in the United States is one of the most critical outcomes of the last half-century. Incarceration Nation combines close analysis of Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon's presidential campaigns with 60 years of data analysis. In contrast to conventional wisdom, Enns shows that over this time period, politicians responded to an increasingly punitive public by pushing policy in a more punitive direction. The book also shows that media coverage of rising crime rates fueled the public's attitudes. More recently, a decline in public punitiveness helps explain the current bipartisan calls for criminal justice reform.
