Flash Forward Podcast: "Could Mind Control End Crime?" with Liat Ben-Moshe

Liat Ben-Moshe, author of DECARCERATING DISABILITY, joins the Flash Forward podcast for a discussion of a future where we start putting devices in people's brains to reduce crime.

This vital addition to carceral, prison, and disability studies draws important new links between deinstitutionalization and decarceration"I think people really underestimate the power of community. It was incredibly life-altering for me to find other disabled people that were politicized as disabled. If somebody is in crisis, who better than somebody who’s been through a similar crisis to talk to?

Why not call people who have been there? Why not, you know, really fund all these… I don’t even want to call them ‘alternatives’ because they’re not alternatives; they’re just things that we’re doing anyway, they’re just not funded."
