#125: Prison and reentry (ft. Joshua Bryant and Jeremy Williams)

We take a deep dive into the world of prison life and the challenging transition back into society, with Joshua Bryant and Jeremy Williams.

We discuss popular misconceptions about crime and the role of punishment, what locking people up does to their mental and physical health, policies that need to change and many other topics.

The second part of this discussion will be out next week or if you are a patreon member you can listen to it right now at patreon.com/itsnotjustinyourhead.

"The Journey Project provides the opportunity for those desiring to create a new future and want to turn a positive system of beliefs into positive ways of action.  We will support you, encourage you, and provide you with tools for inner personal change."
