LISTEN at work or while you surf.

“After listening to the podcasts, very impressed. Not just Michael, but Brent and the two or three other inmates Todd has had on. They are ALL proof that prisoners CAN be rehabilitated. They just have to do most of the work themselves….” Linda J.

 

Michael Liebowitz is back for his first interview in a few weeks. We’ve been without our top prison guest because he’s been on lockdown due to the virus, limiting his time for phone calls, so it’s fun to hear his voice again. He fills us in on how Covid was handled in prison.

Michael Liebowitz’s cell block has been on lock down for a couple of weeks, so we haven’t heard much from him. But he’s back today, describing more ways prison and state officials are deceiving when they pretend there’s competent management being practiced.

After 22 years in prison, Michael Liebowitz reports that incarceration changed with the start of the plague. Liebowitz, in the Osborne prison in Somers, joins us weekly.

Michael Liebowitz, an inmate of 22 years in the Connecticut Correctional System, talks about dealing with sickness inside prison. How is the treatment? We discuss.

Todd thinks Michael Liebowitz should run for governor if/ when he is released from prison. So, we interview Liebowitz as if it is 2026 and he’s a candidate. (Hint: He still believes in the American System of Government in the future.)

Then, for Philosophy Friday, we ask whether you would vote for a candidate for governor– specifically Michael Liebowitz– who has spent a big chunk of his life serving prison time for having committed violent crimes?
