Lots of people are talking about the climate crisis, few talk about how it’s impacting people in prison.

The Green and Red crew talks with journalist Alleen Brown about her recent series in the Intercept on “Climate and Punishment,” and how incarcerated people are left in aging infrastructure while burning and flooding is going on all around them.

Give it a listen and a share.

The Climate and Prison Episode.

🎙 apple.co/3M2uhJN

The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world. It's about 25% of the world's incarcerated population with over 2 million people held in federal, state and local jails. We're also seeing unprecedented extreme climate disasters in the form of wildfires, heatwaves, drought, super-storms and more.

The aging infrastructure and failing logistics systems of many prisons are unprepared for the emerging climate crisis. The intersection of these two crises have created a pattern of human rights abuses across the country, and elected officials and their "regimes of cruelty" from California to Texas to Florida are only making matters worse.

In our latest episode, we discuss how the climate crisis is impacting prison populations with journalist Alleen Brown ().
