Today I’m talking about how screwed up the Prison system is in this country. And it’s really, really bad. I have my first guest, Sinjin Sison who is an activist in New Orleans and works for a prisoners rights initiative here. We are going to talk about Angola, the quite literal modern day slave plantation, prison in Louisiana. A veteran, Derek Harris who is serving LIFE IN PRISON for .69 grams of marijuana (like a joints worth https://theappeal.org/life-in-prison-marijuana/) quadriplegic prisoners your tax dollars pay to be tortured, and how bad the Covid-19 situation is hammering the prison population, and how that means more BIPOC people are dying at a higher rate, because they aren’t white.
