- 2020–TV EpisodeAs I dive into our criminal (in)justice system, I am learning about the racial disparities of BIPOC - not only in arrests, pretrial processes, and convictions, but also in the severity of their sentencing - compared to their white brethren. For example, 70% of the 367 DNA exonerees to date were non-white. When I went beyond looking at the heavily Black and brown colors of our correctional system, I saw the horrors of what is going on behind the walls and bars of our prisons and jails. It is hauntingly familiar to the factory farm videos I watched years ago-videos that immediately turned me vegan. This led me to see that American prisons are the new factory farms. The similarities between factory farms and prisons are many but I start here with the main 3 that I recognize. Just a head's up, there are some slightly disturbing photos included, but I hope they help you realize the inhumanity that we are creating - and allowing - in our country.
