(10/19/22) Bill Keller, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, former executive editor of The New York Times, and founding editor-in-chief of the Marshall Project examines his first book, What’s Prison For? Punishment and Rehabilitation in the Age of Mass Incarceration. While much of the national debate about prisons has focused on the history and enormous societal costs of mass incarceration in America, imprisonment itself remains an invisible cultural archipelago. In What’s Prison For?, Keller illuminates the contemporary prison experience and explores a swath of programs aimed at fulfilling one of the criminal justice system’s ostensible purposes: rehabilitation. Join us when Bill Keller takes us inside prison walls, where we meet men and women who have found purpose while in state custody on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI 99.5FM.
