On this episode of The Legal Lens podcast, my conversation with attorney Alec Karakatsanis, Founder and Executive Director of @civrightscorps, explores how the language we use shapes the way we understand the legal system.
In this clip, he presents the term “punishment bureaucracy,” why he uses it, and how it differs from the phrase “criminal justice system.”
The conversation also points to the broader questions behind that framing and the activity of the Civil Rights Corps, as the organization marks its 10-year anniversary.
