The 1994 Crime Bill and its legacy of mass incarceration take center stage in the 2016 presidential campaign and our discussion here.

        Amy Beth welcomes noted prison reform advocate Jean Trounstine for a lively conversation about juvenile justice in America.  Her compelling new book, Boy With A Knife, which follows the downward spiral of Karter Kane Reed, who at sixteen stabbed another ten to death, offers shocking statistics on the Draconian sentencing and conditions faced by many youthful offenders prosecuted as and sentenced to adult prisons.

Plus: send-ups to the Tax Man & Record Store Day.

And our usual hoopla: Free flow Pop Culture convoInspiration to Action shout-outs, humor, music and more!
