REALTalk – Mass Incarceration

Hosts:  Susan McCabe

March 6, 2026

Show Notes

Here in liberal Washington State, we incarcerate people at three times the rate of other developed countries.  Mass incarceration of particularly black and brown people is a large and growing problem in Washington and throughout the US.  Why is that?

Join host Susan McCabe as she explores the answers with David Trieweiler, criminal defense attorney and director of the “End Mass Incarceration Project” of the WA Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Tune in Tuesday on 101.9FM, on the VoV App or at your convenience on voiceofvashon.org.  It’s sure to be REAL.
