Colorado's state prison budget has grown by almost 1300% in the last 35 years; it's now more than a billion dollars-per-year.
This week I talk to Christie Donner, founder of the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition. We discuss the current state of prisons in Colorado and across the US, and we spend some time digging into a few specific bills currently being debated by Colorado Legislators, including Good Samaritan Laws, fentanyls, safe use sites, and education in prison. We also discuss Pell Grants, the school-to-prison pipeline, negative press coverage, and the ongoing staff crisis in departments of corrections across the country, specifically in Colorado.
You can watch the negative news coverage of La Vista Women's Prison Honor House on YouTube.
You can hear Dean Williams entire interview on the With(in) podcast, season 1, episode 1.
The DOC in crisis article Christie mentioned is available at ccjrc.org.
