In this episode Amira Rose Davis interviews Bianca Tylek, Founder and Executive Director of Worth Rises, a non-profit advocacy organization dismantling the prison industrial complex. They discuss Worth Rises' recent prison phone justice action on Mother's Day at a Detroit Pistons game to call out (again) Pistons' owner Tom Gores and his telecom company that profits from overpriced prison phone calls. They talk about the sacrifices families make to pay for these phone calls that are the only lifeline to their loved ones who are incarcerated.
