GREAT program today! KPFA is the only place I have ever heard such in-depth reporting about for-profit prisons, D.O.J and immigration detention facilities.
Shane Bauer is a hero for exposing what those of us who have been incarcerated, (as a result of the drug war) already know.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, KPFA. I just made a donation.
I want to know how to go about changing how San Mateo County denies inmates medication that is prescribed to inmates. This “policy” has been in affect for years.
