Description

On the latest episode of the Conduit Street Podcast, Michael Sanderson and Sarah Sample welcome back Director Brandon Foster from the Charles County Detention Center for a follow-up discussion on policy issues affecting local corrections – a central public service Maryland counties deliver for their communities.The scope of local corrections – generally far shorter duration of stay, and many of the incarcerated are still awaiting their trial – deeply informs the local perspective on service and operational mandates contemplated by statewide policymakers. How do local correctional leaders "find common ground" with well-intentioned legislators when the details are… sometimes complicated?Listen for a quick run-through of recent legislation and how local leaders are already working to keep their facilities fair and safe for all.The Conduit Street Podcast is available on major platforms like Spotify, Apple, Google, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. Episodes are also available on MACo's Conduit Street blog.Useful Links:Part 1 of this discussion:Conduit Street Podcast — The Detention Dilemma: What We Ask of Local Jails2023 Legislative Wrap-up: Public Safety and CorrectionsLegal coverage of Kincaid v.

A podcast on Maryland policy and politics, covering state and county issues. We’ll cover the General Assembly, Governor, state agencies, and county leaders and how it all affects Marylanders and the public services they depend on. Counties deliver education, public safety, land use, infrastructure, and most front-line services to Maryland residents. This podcast from the Conduit Street Annapolis headquarters of MACo, the Maryland Association of Counties, touches on it all.
