Please join us on Monday, April 17th 6:30 pm for Prison Pipeline on KBOO Community Radio as we talk with author Michael Liebowitz about his new book, “Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Corrections Encourages Crime”, written with Brent McCall.
As reviewed in Psychology Today, Stanton E Samenow writes, “Michael Leibowitz and his co-author Brent McCall are incarcerated (Leibowitz now released) at the Osborne Correctional Institute in Somers, Connecticut. The two men have written a thoughtful critique of how the “culture of corrections” not only impedes “rehabilitation” but also makes it nearly impossible.
The authors of the book, called Down the Rabbit Hole, set forth as their premise: “Those in authority seem to lack any real sense of the type of person with which the public is expecting them to deal.” They assert that the outcome is “to encourage criminal activity rather than remedy it.”
Prison Pipeline is a radio program dedicated to educating the public about the Oregon criminal justice system. Our goal is to present a unique understanding of the criminal justice system, address the root causes of crime, and challenge the status quo. We seek to promote awareness and activism in order to foster a safe, healthy, and just society. Tune in every Monday at 6:30 P.M. to hear our hosts Karen James, Adam Carpinelli, Emma Lugo, and Doug McVay explore the Oregon justice system with a variety of guests.
