“Monitoring from birth to death” — this is how author and prison reform activist, Victoria Law, describes the juncture of liberal prison reformists and financial conservatives efforts to monitor people …focussing on people of color…in efforts to reduce the cost of prisons. The result is electronic monitoring which may start in schools (and before), and last a lifetime. She talks to Jan Miyasaki about these issues and her new book: “Prison By Any Other Name”.
