492: Platform Justice




C-Realm Podcast show

Summary: KMO and Olga are moving to Bellows Falls, Vermont where the county sheriff, Keith Clark, hopes to bring some much needed humanity to an overly punitive criminal justice system. He proposes renovating a building which has stood empty for decades and turning it into a new <a href="http://www.wcax.com/story/30599358/should-old-bellows-falls-mill-house-detention-center" target="_blank">justice center</a> that will combine educational opportunities, community services, administrative offices and a detention center. Some Bellows Falls residents are less than pleased at the prospect. KMO speaks with Sheriff Clark about the center and the concerns of residents. Later, KMO summarizes some of the content of the presentations and discussions at the <a href="http://platformcoop.net/" target="_blank">Platform Cooperativism</a> conference.
