Join us as we talk with a grandmother who served jail time for growing a plant for personal medicinal use. 

Find out why prisoners are forced to wear each other’s underwear:  How prisons procure magazine subscriptions using your name:  How only a small portion of the funds you send to prisoners end up in the hands of the intended recipient.  Find out how you can be kept in prison if you cannot pay for your keep while incarcerated so that you are only there because you are in debt to the for-profit prison.

Guards who care are demeaned while Guards who are abusive are rewarded.

Like our health care system, our prison system is meant to make money, not deter or reform prisoners.
