Decarceration Nation (with Josh and Joel)15 Drug Mail FailJosh and Joel talk about the effect Suboxone smuggling has on prison mail across the United States.
I felt the 14th episode, where I interview Michigan's gubernatorial candidate Bill Cobbs was symbolically important. I can't imagine that many Gubernatorial candidates have sat down for an hour-long podcast interview with a formerly incarcerated registered citizen. Thanks to Mr. Cobbs for a great discussion and for his political courage.

Decarceration Nation (with Josh and Joel)12 Prison FoodJosh and Joel discuss the problems with prison food.
The story about the Alabama Sheriff who spent money allocated for food for his jail prisoners to buy a beach house is pretty unbelievable but 100% true.
Yup, I was part of the lucky group of inmates who got to "brown bag it" for a few months at the Macomb County Jail. Hey Kool-Aid!
I think it is awesome that inmates all over Michigan donate the vegetables grown in their gardens to food banks, I just think the program should be expanded to include fresh...2018-04-0338 min

Nothing has ever looked as friendly and unthreatening as Jpay's website

All of these things were 100% wrong.

When I discuss Pre-Sentencing Investigations with other formerly incarcerated folks, they had similar experiences to the ones we discuss. PSI's are incredibly under-covered in the criminal justice literature. This CJCJ overview does a good job of covering the basics.
