Closing the 13th Amendment Loophole - a podcast by WNYC

The Brian Lehrer Show and The Greene Space have launched a new series about the business side of the prison industry. Each week we examine one aspect of the $80 billion dollar prison industrial complex, and ask: who profits when people get put away?

This week we talk with Bianca Tylek, Worth Rises’s executive director, about programs that require incarcerated people to work for little or no pay, and with Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley about his Abolition Amendment which would seek to close the "slavery loophole" in the 13th amendment.
