How Do You Fix a Flawed Criminal Justice System? Dorsey Nunn

What this episode covers

Through serving 10 years at San Quentin, Dorsey Nunn witnessed firsthand how completing a prison sentence does not guarantee the end of restrictions to freedom, especially for people of color and low-wage workers. Nunn has been a recognized leader in the criminal justice reform movement for nearly forty years. He joins Michael to share his experiences getting a life sentence when he was 19 years old, his work today in helping the incarcerated and their families, and other stories from his book, What Kind of Bird Can’t Fly: A Memoir of Resilience and Resurrection. Learn how restorative justice works, what it means to “ban the box,” how a form of slavery still exists in prisons, and other insights on securing civil rights to current and formerly incarcerated people.
