Liat Ben-Moshe on Rising Up With Sonali
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors recently voted unanimously to close the notorious LA Men’s Central Jail – part of the largest jail system in the country that prison abolition activists have often dubbed the nation’s largest psychiatric ward. A whopping 20% of inmates have struggled with mental illness in what may be the strongest indication of the intersection of disability and incarceration. Now a new book tackles how the discourse on mass incarceration needs to be centered on disability.
Liat Ben-Moshe discusses her new book, Decarcerating Disability, on Rising Up With Sonali. Watch/listen here.
