Notes From Episode 54
Here are three recent articles about correctional officers in the South Carolina Department of Corrections. First, an article about massive drug smuggling by a prison employee. Second, there was the incident where Allen Capers was killed in the yard while CO’s looked on. Finally, an SCDC officer may have assaulted an incarcerated person while that person was already restrained.
Michelle Alexander’s “The New Jim Crow” has been discussed on the podcast many times.
Danielle also mentioned Douglas A. Blackmon’s excellent book “Slavery By Another Name.”
