Private Prison Divestment with Nation Inside

 
Download Podcast Tonight on New Abolitionists Radio we hope to speak with Jamie Trinkle, who is the lead campaign manager on the Private Prison Divestment campaign promoted by Nation Inside.  The Private Prison Divestment Campaign was convened by Enlace in 2011. Last year, Nation Inside graciously offered to promote this campaign on their website, a consolidated online platform for community campaigns engaged in different pieces of the struggle against the prison industrial complex. Divestment was an important tool in ending the apartheid regime of South Africa and can be just as an effective tool in shutting down the private prison industry.
