Podcast Description
In this series we unpack the multiple relationships between criminal punishment and mental or behavioral healthcare systems in the State of Washington. We especially tune in to how improving care is a guise for expanding confinement and coercion. The podcast episodes feature voices from advocates and people who have experience in the jail, prison or mental health systems. We hope that these episodes help people recognize how prisons and jails salvage themselves and expand through the notion of improving care. We hope that this podcast can support future campaigns to stop carceral expansion.
