Ep 020 - Mass Incarceration

Mike's Mini History Lessons

Sep 23 2020 • 19 mins

In this not so mini history lesson, we take a good look at many of the proponents or systemic racism in the US and what has caused the mass incarceration problem we face today. There are more people in US prisons today than any other country in the world. And roughly 1/3 of those prisoners are Black. Join us as we look back to the creation of the modern prison, the end of the civil war, and the history of the prosecutor here in America and how all of these directly contributed to mass incarceration.
