Summary

This episode was originally released in fall 2023 and is being re-aired today in light of discourse surrounding carceral approaches to public space and recent attacks on the term "carceral sanism" itself. To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod Beatrice, Liat Ben-Moshe, and Leah Harris discuss the increasing wave of policies and legislation, from Eric Adams’ stance on involuntary hospitalization to Gavin Newsom’s Care Courts, that seek to criminalize madness and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They also discuss why it is so critical for the left to work against these policies, and how to understand the politics of what we have termed “carceral sanism.” This episode was originally recorded live as part of the 2023 Socialism Conference, organized by Haymarket Books.
