The Jail Is Everywhere: The Quiet Jail Boom & The Insidious Logic Of Carceral Humanism / Lydia Pelot-Hobbs + Jack Norton

Lydia Pelot-Hobbs and Jack Norton, co-editors of the collection The Jail is Everywhere, join me in this interview to discuss the “quiet jail boom” in numerous counties across the United States. They examine how the county jail has become the preeminent site of the adaptive, expansive, and shapeshifting carceral state, as well as the local and nationwide struggles to end it.
