Prison Life: Stimulus, Strikes, and System Critique

Richie Ng who spent more of his life in Prison than out in the free world talk with Steven Lee ex NYPD Whistleblower Cop who was also sent to jail about Prisons and current events happening now.

Richie Ng, an expert with experience in riots, jail, and prison, and Co-host ex-cop, Steve. They discuss topics related to the prison system, including the impact of stimulus checks on the prison economy, the current strike by correction officers, and the resulting lockdown conditions. Ng shares personal experiences and opinions on the prison system, including perspectives on rehabilitation and alternative sentencing for drug addicts and those committing petty crimes. They debate the effectiveness of prison as a reformative tool, focusing on whether prison truly helps people to be rehabilitated, or whether it's only life experience that has taught them lessons and improved their lives. The conversation also explores the experiences of young adults in the prison system and whether there are ways to guide them and help them change their lives for the better. Finally, they consider an anecdote about a fellow prisoner in Rikers Island who supposedly has not been indicted, before Richie challenges its plausibility.
