You can draw a fairly straight line from mass incarceration, to the war on drugs, to police militarization and misconduct, to the protests we are seeing across the US today. This episode traces that line.
On Episode 96 we discussed How to Fix a Drug Scandal, directed by Erin Lee Carr. It is a Netflix Docu-series about a drug lab scandal that rocked the State of Massachusetts in 2013. In the series we learn about two drug techs, Sonja Farak and Annie Dookhan, who falsified drug test results in thousands of cases, sending tens of thousands of people to prison with tainted evidence.
Luke, a defense attorney, is a center-piece of the latter episodes of the series and is representing several people in the series in ongoing civil litigation against the State of Massachusetts. I really enjoyed rapping with him.
Don’t worry, you do not need to have watched the show in order to understand the episode.
