Hi, I'm Josie Duffy Rice, and this is the Justice in America book bonus.

I'm here with Bianca Tyler, she's the executive director and founder of Worth Rises.

So Bianca, can you tell us what you've been reading lately?

Sure. So, thankfully, there's actually been a lot more coverage of the issue around prison

privatization, prison profiteering, and the prison industrial complex more generally.

So I think the best things to read around are issues are really a bunch of long-form articles

that have recently come out.

So over the last few months, the nation did a cover piece of their magazine called

Prisoners of Profits.

That's a long for a piece around the role of private equity in this space. The Atlantic recently did a piece on

prison health care. LA Times recently did a long forward piece about

prison telecom and the role of private equity from a more sort of a slightly older base there's a book called

prison profiteers that is a little older now but has a lot of really amazing

information it's a collection of essays around different aspects

of the prison industrial complex.

And then there's also the John Oliver piece.

There's a John Oliver piece about prison labor

and the cost of incarceration that's been shifted on to

incarcerated people in their support networks. So yeah I think that there's a

number of pieces throughout different outlets that have been really encapsulating and illuminating

of a lot of the issues in our area.

Awesome, thank you.
