Labor Day Edition: Prison Reform with Senator Ossoff, fact checking the border, political anxiety

On today's Labor Day edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, host Bill Nigut you some of our best segments from recent podcast episodes.

We’ll start with our conversation with U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff about his success in passing a comprehensive federal prison oversight bill that has been hailed as a measure to protect prison workers, and to assure humane treatment of prisoners.

Then, polls show that immigration and border security are top issues for voters. We’ll fact check the presidential candidates’ claims about the border with Chuck Kuck, one of the country’s top immigration attorneys.

And, a conversation with Emory’s Drew Westen, a professor emeritus of psychology and psychiatry, who reminds us how we can manage anxiety surrounding the election.
