Heyyy… let's talk about JUSTICE! It's been a long day, pour some gin and have a seat. Justine and Amanda are shedding light on the inner workings of the criminal justice system, taking a deep dive into the many perspectives, and giving listeners a look at the system through the eyes of all walks of life. They discuss the successes and many failures of the system allowing listeners to understand the side of justice that’s often not portrayed.

You’ll hear discussions on the impacts the criminal justice system on those who are incarcerated, their loved ones, and those who are wrongfully convicted, and highlights of how substance use disorder and mental health are criminalized and have fueled a system of mass incarceration.Follow and subscribe for weekly behind the scenes look at the American Criminal Legal System.
