Thank you for the podcast with Shima Baradaran and sharing the work she is doing.
I taught in the Ohio State prison system for five years and leaned more than I taught.
At first I was scared, but longer I was there, I came to see the inmates as people.
Shima is right there needs to be penalties for breaking the law and there can be understanding and compassion.
Many of the them said that society had thrown them away. I found families in the system, cousins, uncles etc. Many of the inmates I taught were incarcerated because of drug offenses and not violent crimes.
Again thank for this podcast so others can understand that prisoners are people too and need support.
