Now You Are Free Podcast

In the USA, if you have been in prison for 5 years or more and get released, you have an 80% chance of being back in jail within 1 year. Our criminal justice system is not working, neither for inmates nor for society as a whole. The Now You Are Free podcast will examine the effectiveness of punishment and rehabilitation, and retributive and restorative justice. We will see that there is a better way forward to ensure that all citizens are safe and thriving. www.nowyouarefreepod.com Music - www.epidemicsound.com
