How ALEC & the Kochs Openly Back Criminal Justice Reform & Independently Broaden Mass Imprisonment

http://democracynow.org – Part of Ava DuVernay’s brand-new documentary “13 th” takes a look at how ALEC, the American Legal Exchange Council, has actually played a main function in the growth of the U.S. jail system. ALEC has actually dealt with states to compose legislation promoting the privatization of jails in addition to promoting harsher, longer sentences. We speak with Lisa Graves, executive director of the Center for Media and Democracy.
