469 | How Tennessee's Mass Incarceration Policies are Making the State less Safe w/Dawn Deaner

April 23, 2026·1h 11m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Today, Hunter was joined once again by Dawn Deaner, Executive Director of the Choosing Justice Initiative and a candidate for Davidson County Judge Criminal Court Division III. Dawn and Hunter discussed some major changes to the legal system in Tennessee that make it easier for the state to incarcerate people pre- and post-trial. As these policies have come into effect, Dawn has vocally opposed these practices because she understands the harms they do to the community, and that is part of why she hopes to join the bench in Davidson County.       Guest: Dawn Deaner, Executive Director of the Choosing Justice Initiative and a candidate for Davidson County Judge Criminal Court Division III   Resources: Learn More About Dawn's Campaign https://www.dawnfornashville.com/ <span lang="EN-GB" style= "font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-fam
