Episode 1: Private Prisons

from Positionality · host Positionality Media

The private prison industry has been capitalizing on mass incarceration since the 1980s, but no one seems to talk about it. This week, we dive into how companies, such as GEO Group and CoreCivic, have managed to profit off of the incarceral system in the US, the rising significance of their political and social influence, as well as ethical issues involved with the industry. --- Special thanks to our friend Kaylie Serna for producing all of the music in this episode! --- Check out our Instagram @positionalitymedia!
