Episode 239: The Fragmented State (w/ special guests Craig and Ruth Wilson Gilmore) [Year Zero 6]

For this latest installation of the Year Zero series we're joined by long time researchers, teachers, and prison abolitionists Craig and Ruth Wilson Gilmore, to help us think through the carceral state: what it is, where it's heading, and how we can change it. Please read Ruthie's book, Golden Gulag: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520242012/golden-gulag And Craig's Real Cost of Prisons graphic novel, from which today's episode art was taken: http://www.realcostofprisons.org/prison_town.pdf And finally, please consider supporting us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/trillbillyworkersparty
