81. Euphemism Nation (Are Murderers Being Released From Prison?!)

This week we're talking about how murderers are being released from prison and why. We also dive into the prison industrial complex; COVID and the releasing of prisoners; why it's so difficult to follow the rules of parole; the connections between race, poverty, and prison; and how you have to follow the money to find the answers. And if that wasn't a deep enough episode for you, we also get into sentencing stats and you might be surprised to learn which types of crimes get the highest average prison time.
