In this special episode we hear directly from Swift Justice, an incarcerated organizer with Free Alabama Movement. Free Alabama Movement is a grassroots organization founded by men incarcerated in Alabama that supports Non-Violent and Peaceful Protests for Civil and Human Rights.
In our conversation we cover a range of topics but focus in on the inhumanity of the profit motive inherent in mass incarceration as we know it in America.
