Fifty years into the era of mass incarceration,
states like Arkansas, Montana, California, and Colorado
are pushing to build new prisons
and expand immigrant detention.

In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host Mansa Musa talks with
Nicole Porter of
"The Sentencing Project"
about how federal and state governments are
doubling down on new prison construction and ICE contracts
to expand the prison-industrial complex,

what sets the US criminal justice system apart from other countries around the world,

and how organizers are fighting for real prison population reductions instead of more cages
