As Mass Incarceration Becomes Less Popular, The Market for 'Community-Based' Surveillance Is Booming

Every Tuesday evening through May 4th, The Greene Space and the non-profit advocacy organization Worth Rises are holding virtual panel discussions about the business side of the prison industry, asking: who profits when people get put away? We're previewing those discussions with a weekly segment here on The Brian Lehrer Show.

As the idea of mass incarceration becomes increasingly less popular, some have pointed to alternatives like diversion programs and electric monitoring. Bianca Tylek, Worth Rises’s executive director, and Vincent Schiraldi, co-director of the Columbia University Justice Lab and former Commissioner of the New York City Department of Probation, talk about the private companies that are creating a space for themselves with these so-called alternative monitoring models and take your calls.

EVENT, 7pm: Sign up for Tuesday's live virtual panel discussion HERE.
