Jan Legnitto interviews Jessica Mitford (1917-1996), author of "The American Way of Death", "The Trial of Dr. Spock", and most recently, "Kind and Usual Punishment: The Prison Business". Mitford discusses the historical roots of the American penal system, the failure of corrections, plea bargaining as an example of how the system fails, "therapy" and human experimentation, and parole, reform or abolition as the answer. |
