Dr. Angela J. Hattery & Dr. Earl Smith | Policing Black Bodies, Prison Inc., & The Poverty Trap
Proposed Solutions, Decriminalization and Military Spending
The guests propose several solutions to systemic inequality, including the decriminalization of low-level drug possession and the elimination of money bail. Dr. Smith suggests redirecting funds from "wasteful" ventures like space travel, the war in Afghanistan, and Blue Angels flyovers toward social services and the VA hospital system. They emphasize that the current "business of war" ruins lives and drains resources that could be used to support domestic communities.
