    When Treatment Comes at the Cost of Freedom

    In this episode I sat down with Natasha Baker, Supervising Attorney for Litigation and Policy at UnCommon Law, to examine a deeply troubling issue unfolding inside California prisons: the use of flawed drug test results to deny people parole.  We start with the basics — what the Medication-Assisted Treatment program is, who it serves, and why drug testing plays a role in it — before uncovering why those tests were never designed to be used as evidence of wrongdoing. Then we get into what happened when Quest Diagnostics produced a wave of false positives, how those inaccurate results made their way into parole hearings, and what it meant for people who had spent years working toward release. This episode highlights how a clinical treatment tool becomes a punishment, and how medical errors can cost people their freedom.  Natasha Tavora Baker works as Supervising Attorney for Litigation and Policy, at Uncommon Law. Natasha holds a J.D. from the George Washington University Law School, and a B.A. from Boston College. Natasha leads Uncommon Law's strategic litigation and supports its policy efforts to address the arbitrariness of the parole hearing process.  Uncommon Law brings people serving life sentences home from prison by providing the legal, mental health, and rehabilitative support California's parole process demands, and challenging a parole system that wasn't built to recognize who they've become. Over nearly 20 years, 99% of the people they've helped come home have never returned to prison.    Links: UnCommon Law Medication Assisted Treatment and Parole in California State Prisons California prisons have life-saving addiction treatment.

    In-Care-Ceration Episode 6: Care Reform, Care Otherwise

    In this episode we explore ways that people are working to build a more caring and care-full world, and to address the harms of our carceral systems whether they are prisons, jails, or hospitals. Some of the people we talk to are interested in engaging with Washington State to change systems, and others are more interested in finding ways to do care otherwise, outside of state systems. This episode features the words of Scout Smedley, SYP, Cindi Fisher, Joshua Wallace, Lauara Van Tosh, Chris Carney, Shaun Glaze, and LeTania Severe, as well as Patreece Spence. We'd like to dedicate this episode, and the whole series to those who lost their lives or their loved ones' lives – physically or socially - to carceral systems; and to all who have devoted their lives to creating a more just, caring future, one where we aren't relying on cages or confinement to solve social problems. Thank you! In-Care-Ceration was written and produced by Leah Montange and Meredith Ruff.

    In-Care-Ceration Episode 1: Entanglements

    In episode one, we introduce this series' central questions: what do the mental health system and the criminal legal system have to do with one another? More to the point, how is improving care in Washington contributing to the expansion of jails, prisons and other spaces of confinement? We frame the whole series by outlining ways that care and incarceration are entangled with one another in Washington State. This episode features the voices of Chris Carney (Carney Gillespie) as well as Shaun Glaze (Black Brilliance Research) and LeTania Severe (Black Brilliance Research and Seattle Solidarity Budget).  Music by Scout Smedley and editing by Nest Audio Co. In-Care-Ceration was written and produced by Leah Montange and Meredith Ruff.

    In-Care-Ceration Episode 2: Forensic Commitment

    In this episode, we take on forensic commitment, the psychiatric commitment of those who are facing criminal charges but are legally considered not competent to stand trial  We unpack how the jail and state hospital systems are connected with each other through forensic commitment, and how there is a surplus of people in the jails who are awaiting space for beds to open up in the state hospital system. This has created pressure for an expansion of forensic commitment space in the state hospital system, something that abolitionists and reformers have addressed.  We speak with Chris Carney (Carney & Gillespie) again, as well as abolitionist, street medic and nurse SYP, and prison abolition activist Scout Smedley.  Music by Scout Smedley and editing by Nest Audio Co. In-Care-Ceration was written and produced by Leah Montange and Meredith Ruff.

    Introduction to In-Care-Ceration: A Podcast

    In-care-ceration is a documentary podcast about how Washington's so-called mental health system is entangled with the carceral system. How do people in need of mental health care end up losing their freedom, whether in a hospital, jail, or prison? How do these institutions care for people? Do they care for people at all? Are community calls for a more caring system having their intended impact? We especially tune in to how improving care is a guise for expanding confinement and coercion. The podcast episodes feature voices from advocates and people who have experience in the jail, prison or mental health systems. We hope that this podcast can support future campaigns to stop carceral expansion. About the Producers / Co-Hosts Leah Montange is a human geographer who words toward prison and immigration detention abolition in the PNW. She teaches, writes, and creates media (like this podcast). Meredith Ruff is an attorney turned bureaucrat (oh no!). She has been organizing with people in prison since 2017.
