"We keep having the debate that our police aren't bias or racist. News flash: yes they are. I'm not saying all police are that way, but I'm calling on ALL police; when you see these rotten apples in your ranks, remove them. - President Hankerson, during the committee hearing.

 Former NAACP Vice President II Dr. Sheley Secrest talks to The Advise Show out of Houston, Texas, about why she got involved with the NAACP and what we're working on now, circa 2017. 

Mass Incarceration: March 20, 2015

There are over 2.4 million people sitting in American prisons right now. Rates of incarceration in this country have increased 400% over the past 30 years. Between 1990 and 2009 the number of Americans housed in private prisons has risen 1600%. This has led many to declare that we are living in an age of mass incarceration driven by a justice system that is over-criminalizing the citizenry, and in particular, racial minorities, low income individuals and youth.

What is driving this explosive growth in incarceration rates nationally? What are the impacts of high levels of imprisonment on overall crime? What rehabilitation programs are in place to counter recidivism and are they showing results?

On this episode of Inside Outlook, host Gavin P. Sullivan moderates a discussion on these questions and more.

Guests include:
J. Wesley Saint Clair, judge, King County Superior Court
Rebecca Roe, lawyer, Schroeter, Glodmark, Bender
Gerald Hankerson, president, Seattle King County NAACP
Nikkita Oliver, organizer, UW law student
Dan Satterberg, prosecuting attorney, King County
