Let’s Talk About Incarceration

The following videos are terrific jumping-off points for vigorous class discussion about incarceration. While they both address domestic prison policies, they could easily be used to talk about incarceration for immigration crimes or even immigration detention.

This first video comes from Sesame Street. (Thanks, Professor Jennifer Koh for bringing it to my attention!)

This next video comes from John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight. Be sure to watch through the end. You too can sing along: “It’s a fact that needs to be spoken. America’s prisons are broken.”
