Slavery hasn't gone anywhere. It, like everything else, evolves and changes. This week we talk about the U.S. prison system. Specifically, the beginning; the key players who would set the stage for an entire generation gone missing. Consider this a first in a series of episodes on this topic. End mass incarceration and prison for profit. Shout out to Daniel Collins of @confessionsofaconvict for being a voice for the voiceless.
