520 | Can Prisons be Reformed? What History Tells Us About the Failed Attempts w/C.J. Ciaramella

On this episode, Hunter was joined by C.J. Ciaramella of Reason Magazine. Recently, C.J. authored an article for Reason that provides an overview of different eras of prison policy and failed reform. In their discussion, Hunter and C.J. explore these eras of prison policy, the reasons why reforms failed, and what those failures tell us about the hope for future prison reforms.   Guest: C.J.
