Renegade Sailor ~ Americana. Culture. Paradigms
#5) On the Freeway In the County ~ Doing Time
In the fifth installation of the Renegade Sailor Podcast, you can hear a middle aged man’s attempt at the pod casting game, ten years late. In this podcast I tell the story of my journey through the Orange County Judicial System and Correctional Facilities, the good the bad and the ugly. I also talk about 10 natural garden remedies you can find around your house. Then I comment on the private prisons in the prison industrial complex.

americana
On my way up the corporate sales ladder at 19 my career took an unexpected turn through the Orange Country Judicial system which ended up with me on the freeway in county, “where the sun don’t shine.” Twenty years later I recall the story that changed my life forever.

paradigms
Before we can make changes to the Prison Industrial Complex, people need to know what it is and how it works. From 1970 to 2013 the number of Americans that are incarcerated increased from 500 thousand inmates to 2.3 million. With only 5% of the worlds population, the United States incarcerates 25% of the world’s population, making it worlds first country to incarcerate this many of it’s citizens. The U.S. incarcerates more people than Nazi Germany, North Korea or the Roman Empire.

Prison Policy Initiative
Prison Policy (PPI) is non-profit, non-partisan. Prison Policy Initiative produces cutting edge research to expose the broader harm of mass criminalization, and then sparks advocacy campaigns to create a more just society.
The Prison Policy Initiative was founded in 2001 to document and publicize how mass criminalization undermines our national welfare. Through groundbreaking research, innovative media work, and cross-sector organizing, the Prison Policy Initiative is changing the debate about the U.S. criminal justice system. Our team has grown to four dedicated staff members who, a long with student interns and volunteers, shape national reform campaigns from our office in Western Massachusetts.
