"house Talk" W/dr. Lauren D Pitts

What is mass incarceration? What are the effects of mass incarceration? What are the special ethical concerns with incarcerated populations? What causes jail overcrowding? Mass incarceration is one of the major public health crises facing the United States, as the millions of people cycling through the courts, jails, and prisons every year experience far higher rates of chronic health problems, substance use, and mental illness than the general population. Join us tomorrow night at 9pm on “House Talk” w/Dr. Lauren D. Pitts as Dr. Maiden, Dr. Pitts and their special guests – Dr. Christine Clark (University of Nevada-Las Vegas), Dr. Karen B McLean Dade (Western Washington University) and Dr. Lory Dance (University of Nebraska-Lincoln) discuss the mass incarceration crisis that extends beyond prison walls, affecting entire communities. We want to hear from you on this very important topic so call us live during the show with your comments or questions at (515) 605-9744.
