UN-CAPED HEROES - The Podcast#514 DIGNITY w Hamish MacDonaldHappy 'Way Back Wednesday'
Dignity is defied as 'A sense of pride in oneself; self respect / The state or quality of being worthy of honor and respect.' What is your definition?

Is dignity as simple as doing the right thing when no one else is around? Sit for a bit with Cassey, Stacy, and our guest Hamish MacDonald, via New Zealand, as we unpack dignity.

If wrongdoers go to prison more often and for longer, everyone seems happy. But we live in a system where people do eventually come out of prison and rejoin the community. And this is where what has happened to them in prison really starts to matter. If prisons are a rank breeding ground for recidivism, where drug use is unchecked and non-violent offenders are initiated into the criminal world, do you want someone who has spent time there living near you? Or would you rather see them going...
