2023/03/30

In today’s episode, we go to London, where a new report commissioned by the government has exposed deeply entrenched misogyny, racism and homophobia in the Metropolitan Police Force. The report was spawned from the conviction of an officer for the rape and murder of a 33-year old woman, and the report shows horrendous failures of public safety, from careless treatment of evidence in rape cases, to officers neglecting to file reports because they don’t believe their own reporting system work.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced that San Quentin State Prison will transition into a “rehabilitation” center for the California prison system, transitioning to a service-oriented site that focuses on prisoners who are spending their final time incarcerated before being freed. Meanwhile, current long term prisoners there will be transferred away to other prisons – likely sites that have fewer services for the people living in their cages.

2023/03/16

In this episode we look at a new policy in San Mateo County Jail that restricts prisoner access to letters other than digital scans that they cannot have at their bedside – it’s a policy justified by an overplayed outcry that prisoners are receiving drugs through mail while in reality, the majority of drugs inside jails are trafficked there by guards themselves. Along with other justice-minded organizations, the Electronic Frontier Foundation is vocally opposing the policy. We’re joined by Hannah
