S3 | EP 7: THE SENTENCING PROJECT ~ 50 YEARS & A WAKEUP (BONUS EPISODE)
In the wake of 50 Years of Mass Incarceration, this BONUS EPISODE spotlights WE GOT US NOW ally and partner, The Sentencing Project with an in-depth discussion featuring Acting Executive Director, Kara Gotsch and Senior Director of Advocacy, Nicole Porter. about the state of mass incarceration in the United States.  
Launched in 2023, the year-long public education campaign,  #50YearsAndAWakeUp: Ending The Mass Incarceration Crisis In America includes a coalition of advocates, experts, and partners, such as, WE GOT US NOW, all working towards raising awareness about the dire state of the U.S. criminal legal system, the devastating impact of incarceration on communities and families, and proposes more effective crime prevention strategies for our country. 
The title for this campaign was born out of a colloquial phrase that incarcerated people sometimes use to describe the life of their sentence, plus one day (e.g. “I have 20 years and a wake up”). It also serves as a double-entendre, calling for our country to “wake up” to the harsh and dangerous realities of mass incarceration in America. To learn more, go to, https://www.sentencingproject.org/advocacy/50-years-and-a-wake-up-ending-the-mass-incarceration-crisis-in-america/
