A FEW WORDS FROM OUR LISTENERS

Amazing podcast! Small group of folks discussing an aspect of the carceral system – what it’s supposed to do and what it looks like in practice: the harm wrought by a crazy punitive system and the barriers this system erects that prevent people’s recovery and ability to repair the pain in themselves and the harm they (may) have caused others. The podcast on schools really caught me – those were some wild and shocking stories that for people like me (white, not rich but affluent), was eye opening. The sincerity and authenticity brought to each episode was moving. I hope others enjoy this as much!
