Description

Jailhouse lawyer and prisoner rights litigant Martin Sostre predicted a world where a group of politically conscious prisoners would lead a revolutionary armed struggle to overthrow the racist and capitalist order in the United States. A law review published his vision in 1973, and prison abolitionists are still distributing the article today.

This episode includes the first half of our discussion about Sostre and his manifesto. Part 2 goes up next week.
