Manage episode 318434561 series 3307851
"Politics is about justice, and power, and the interactions between them." Maurice Chammah, staff writer at the Marshall Project, comes on with Jacob to discuss the criminal justice system in the United States, which is about as political as things get. Maurice and Jacob discuss how we treat prisoners, how we deal with life and death, the origins and definitions of justice, our perceptions of justice, and what we think about as a collective of terms like good and evil.
