Introduction to Incarceration
With me today is Akira Rose, the first guest on this podcast and a passionate activist. She will dive into many topics regarding incarceration, one being the relationship between the citizens and the police (a relationship that is very broken in her eyes). She will also address society's largely inaccurate and unfair view of those criminalized. Participating in legal system reform and interacting with youth, she's seen first-hand how damaging the stigma surrounding criminalized individuals can be. To give you a preview of her powerful insights: "Being someone who's incarcerated doesn't mean you're a bad person, it doesn't mean you're a violent person, it doesn't mean that you deserved to go to prison or jail, it doesn't mean that your life should be over or is over..." I hope you enjoy, and walk away feeling further informed on some of the impacts of mass incarceration within the United States. And remember, stay hopeful out there!
