Prison Abolition 101 feat Karen Fletcher

In this episode we do a quick look back at the history of the prison complex and a very basic step through what is prison abolition, what it is not and what our community could look like if we abolished them all together (it could be pretty sweet)

We are joined by legend, lawyer and Flat Out Inc board memeber Karen Fletcher to talk about the work Flat Out does and the benefits prison abolition has on our community.
