The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 15, 2021
The Greene Space, the non-profit advocacy group Worth Rises, have launched a new series about the business side of the prison industry, everything from prison labor to companies who contract with prisons to provide healthcare, food and other services. Who profits when people get put away?
This week we dig into the history of private prisons in America and where Biden's executive order falls in that story with Bianca Tylek, Worth Rises’s executive director, and Eunice Cho, senior staff attorney for the ACLU National Prison Project focusing on immigration detention.
