On this episode, Anoa is joined by Brian Sonenstein of Shadowproof and the Beyond Prisons podcast. Brian and Anoa discuss Joe Biden's rollout and the calls for "context" around his support for the 1994 Crime Bill.  Anoa and Brian parse through the calls for context, providing actual context to the discussion. There is a racist subtext to the conversation. Positioning the conversation as an attack or undermining the effort underway prioritizes the feelings and needs of someone who spent his career supporting and advocating for some of the most draconian laws of the modern political era. Despite all the praise and supposedly "wokeness" achieved after 13th, too many liberals are willing to cast aside real opportunities for progress to slide back.  There are several good articles that lay out the issues with Biden's criminal justice record. This doesn't even begin to address his issues across multiple other areas.  Accountability and Justice is critical to many communities and that should not be set aside because a wealthy white man who is politically connected decides to run for president a fourth time.More reading:Blacks Relent on Crime Bill, But Not Without BitternessExperts Doubt Effectiveness Of Crime BillJoe Biden’s Role in ’90s Crime Law Could Haunt Any Presidential BidDon’t Run, Uncle Joe Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Brian is a journalist (with a regular column in the Portland Phoenix) and a co-founder of Shadowproof.com. Kim Wilson has a Ph.D. in Urban Affairs and Public Policy from the University of Delaware, and aside from being an activist and podcast host, she is also an artist, whose work you can see at kimwilsonart.com.

Ep. 90: The Future Without Prisons (W/ Brian Sonenstein & Kim Wilson)

Hosts of the "Unauthorized Disclosure" weekly podcast welcome Kim Wilson and Brian Sonenstein, co-hosts of the "Beyond Prisons" podcast, to the show. Wilson and Sonenstein discuss their new show, which covers prisons and prison reform from an abolitionist perspective. It elevates people directly impacted by the system of mass incarceration by featuring their voices.  In the latter half of the episode, a short segment highlights how CIA torture architects James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen invoked the cases of accused Nazi war criminals to argue they should not be held responsible for torture.
