The US has the highest prison population in the world. Does the "lock 'em up and throw away the key" attitude to crime and punishment really work, or is rehabilitation a better way to go? Guests: Larry White, Tracey Velasquez and Charlie Sullivan.

  • @Maloperverso SMOKED WEED AND CHILD SUPPORT

  • NOW THE TRUTH, ITS BIG BUISNESS FOR PRIVATE INDUSTRIES, CORP AMERICA RAN BY BUISNESS MEN FOR BUISNESS MEN

  • I have to say that while AJE's productions are always informative and interesting, this particular episode seemed amateurish and Larry White should have been "handled" better. Really distracting. The discussion needed a little more control too. 

  • Larry White (the old black guy with the green hat) spent 32 years in prision!!! What did he do!?

  • Why are most people in US prison's Blacks!?

  • One the worlds youngest democracies reverting to old habits it seems.

  • Inside Story hosts are head and shoulders above hosts belonging to other networks. Good job AJE.

  • LOL @ His phone ringing @5:00 haha
