Description

We're back! Now as an award-winning and Peabody Award nominated podcast. Thank you for listening and sharing us. For two years we've documented criminal justice reform—one jail and one story at a time. In season 3, we travel the country exploring how our changing reality is impacting those in custody and the policies that keep them there. We're going to dig deeper, from the spread of COVID-19 in jails, to police depending on private companies that offer new surveillance and facial recognition technology, to efforts at making voting from jail feasible.  Visit 70MillionPod.com for annotated transcripts, tool kits, and more resources. Editors: Phyllis Fletcher and Laura FlynnLead Producer and Sound Designer: Cedric WilsonHost: Mitzi MillerProduction Assistant: Emma ForbesManaging Producer: Virginia LoraLead Fact-checker: Sarah McClureContributor Fact-checker: Ryan KatzStaff Writer: Laura TillmanPhoto Editor: Michelle BakerMarketing Lead: Leslie DatsisCreator & Executive Producer: Juleyka Lantigua-Williams70 Million is made possible by a grant from the Safety and Justice Challenge at The John D. and Catherine T.
