Isiah Daniels and Tommy Shakur Ross collectively spent 57 years behind bars. We'll discuss the prison system, their trip to Norway, restorative justice, and more.
On this edition of Your Call, we're speaking with the creators of Uncuffed, a show made by people behind bars in California prisons. Last summer, a team of the show’s formerly incarcerated producers attended the world’s first International Prison Radio Conference in Oslo, Norway, and toured their unique and progressive prison system. Governor Newsom recently announced that San Quentin State prison will be converted from a maximum-security prison into a rehabilitation and education facility modeled after the Norwegian system. Newsom plans to turn the San Quentin Rehabilitation Center into the final stop of incarceration before individuals are released by 2025, with a focus on job training for trades, including plumbers, electricians, or truck drivers, the Los Angeles Times reports. What can California learn from Norway’s example?
