Ep.5-COVID Corrections Crisis: Designed To Dehumanize and Humiliate

On this episode, we feature Justified Anger's Court Observer program and the victory they had in creating equitable change during the COVID pandemic. Members of the court observer's group, Sandi Reinardy, Julia Westley, and Amy Throndson, tell the story of how they came to feel increasingly uncomfortable with virtual court appearances from Dane County jails and what they did about it. They honestly discuss their process of calling for change, their complacency, racial disparities in criminal justice, and the need to keep pushing forward together. Dr. Karen Reece, Nehemiah Vice President of Research and Education, joins the conversation to bring insight into the issues of representation in our judicial system. Don't miss this powerful example of women working out their allyship in a vulnerable and committed way.
