alone since the program's august 2017 inception to export and alone since the program's august 2017 inception to export over 5000 homeless families now while on paper the idea of helping so over 5000 homeless families now while on paper the idea of helping someone find a home in the city. in a city boasting some of the highest someone find a home in the city. in a city boasting some of the highest rent prices in the country might be a good thing the execution of this program have run prices in the country might be a good thing the execution of this program have has less have less to have left much to be desired because apparently not only are official has less have less to have left much to be desired because apparently not only are officials in the many towns where new york's homeless is land are unaware of the program sills in the many towns where new york's homeless is land are unaware of the program some are

even suing new york city over being moved to another city and then abandoned some are even suing new york city over being moved to another city and then abandoned in barely livable conditions so today let's get into the new battlefield in barely livable conditions so today let's get into the new battlefield in the united states war on the poor as we start watching the whole mess in the united states war on the poor as we start watching the whole house. you know that. you know that. i got.

i got. this. because i. was around. the world in the morning watching the hawks i am a robot and on top of. the world we're going to watching the hawks i am a robot girl and on top of the lawless and as a former as someone who's lived in new york the former resident and former as someone who's lived in new york and a former resident of america setting is very sad it is very sad and the marriage setting is very sad it is very sad it it's it

just doesn't seem like a very thoughtful it's it just doesn't seem like a very thoughtful way to 'd deal with it with a crisis that acts as a crisis and that's not the way to deal with a human being the way they 'd deal with a with a crisis that acts as a crisis and that's not the way to deal with human beings no. not at all let me let me run you that this is no. not at all let me let me run you the plan 1st let's explain to people what bill de blasio put in him for so like basing our plan 1st let's explain to people what bill de blasio also put in for so like basing our presidential candidate. 5 seconds it was a great man how can i as a natural can and i am right 5 seconds it was a great match and i was going to have the plan basically works like the homeless individuals and families already has one of the plan basically works like the homeless individuals and families. eligible for the special one time assistance

program if they can prove they have been in new york's eligible for the special one time assistance program if they can prove they have been in new york city in a new york city shelter for at least 90 days and that their household income is no more than twice in a new york city shelter for at least 90 days and that their household income is no more than twice what it was what they would rent and if they qualify the city essentially what it owes what they owe when rent and if they qualify the city essentially pays for their moving costs and like one year's worth of revenue moved them to a city pays for their moving costs and like one year's worth of revenue moved them to a city and a home somewhere around the country a lot of them did in new jersey and things like a home somewhere around the country a lot of them did in new jersey and things like that but the problem is the city's not following up on this in any real way but the problem is the city's not following up on this in any real way and

a lot of people are being moved in the less than stellar locations but right if you were just sort of discipline of people being moved in the less than stellar locations the right if you were just sort of disappearing and falling off the map and nobody's really paying attention to who it is and this what what hearing and falling off the map and nobody's really paying attention to who it is and this is what what i find the most disturbing is it sounds very much like something that happened you know 10203040 you know i find the most disturbing as it sounds very much like something that happened you know 10203040 years ago it was so san francisco and portland have used similar tactics there is ago it was so san francisco and portland have used similar tactics started undermanned then mayor gavin newsom. started undermanned then mayor gavin newsom. who some of you have seen and lots of and very progressive who some of you have seen and lots of on t.v. a very progressive. very for the people gavin newsom have this homeward bound

program very for the people gavin newsom had this home program for more than a decade and they transported hundreds of people a year and the same thing for more than a decade and they transported hundreds of people a year and the same thing some people did find a place to believe city officials when they looked into things found that a lot of people well some people did find a place to believe city officials when they looked into things found that a lot of people on reachable missing just completely missing in jail or her unreachable missing just completely missing in jail or had already returned back to homelessness and the time that they left them out in 3 years already returned back to homelessness and the time that they left them out and 3 years after they started transplanting they're homeless portland oregon found that 3 mothers after they started transplanting they're homeless portland oregon found that 3 months after

departures nearly half of what almost half the people could see after departures nearly half of what almost half the people. that they had found half of those who had been transported. that they had found half of those who had been transported. could be reached had lost their promised housing so they didn't get the housing that they were from could be reached had lost their promised housing so they didn't get the housing that they were promised they didn't get biggest things and to me if you're going to give money for someone it's like homeward bound as they didn't get biggest things and to me if you're going to give money for someone it's like homeward bound or go back where it just feels very go back where you came from here home one day or go back where it just feels very go back where you came here homeward bound oh here why don't we get you to new jersey or somewhere else why don't you take $89000000.00 bound oh here why don't we get you to new jersey or somewhere else why don't you take $89000000.00. alison built them affordable

housing right that's why i think if you're going to sort of runs this no housing long as they build them affordable housing right that's why i think if you're going to sort of runs this no housing long term are telling and that's there's a lot of options with $89000000.00 this city pushes back turmeric telling and that's there's a lot of options with $89000000.00 this city pushes back on that argument and here is how the every department of homeless services in new york city that argument mirrors how the every department of homeless services in new york city depend on these costs and telling the post that the city actually saves on should depend on these costs telling the post that the city actually saves on shelter funding which amounts to about $41000.00 and you only perfectly compared to the average yearly shelter funding which amounts to about $41000.00 and you only perfectly compared to the average yearly rent of around $17000.00 families elsewhere across rent of around $17000.00 families elsewhere across outward not in their city right so i

mean you're taking these people and there was one like not in there a city right so i mean you're taking these people and there was one lawsuit right now that a couple a family of 4 was put into lawsuit right now that a couple a family of 4 was put into a home in new jersey that literally didn't have running water or electricity and so but now i'm in new jersey that literally didn't have running water or electricity and so but now you can now you can pull yourself up by a bootstraps because we're helping you out for a year but when you're not you can now you can pull yourself up by a bootstraps because we're helping you out for a year but when you're not letting the mayors of the towns know or any kind of officials when you're not reaching out to these people after they're not letting the mayors of the towns know or any kind of officials when you're not reaching out to these people after they're there and all that how do you expect to go from homeless to successful within a year it's insane there and all that how do you expect to go from homeless to successful within a year it's insane. i mean i don't know if there's really any any way for that to

have to happen i mean i don't know there's really any any way for that to have to happen in any real way you know one of the things that's really upset exactly and some up in any real way you know one of the things that's really upset exactly and simone who is a pool policy analyst at coalition for the homeless said we're initially seeing a lot of complaints about conditions now that the program has an operation long enough that the soldier subsidy is expire own policy analyst at coalition for the homeless said we are initially seeing a lot of complaints about conditions now that the program has an operation long enough that the soldier subsidy is expiring one of the main concerns is it might not be realistic for people to be entering one of the main concerns is it might not be realistic for people to be entirely you self-sufficient after that worst year and part of that is because there's no job higher when you self-sufficient after that worst year and part of that is because there's no job part of that there's no

food part of this program it isn't. part of that there's no food part of this program it isn't here's a package and saying we would like to go back to more to our hometown we would like to move into a place where that is the package and saying we would like to go back to more to our hometown we would like to move into a place for that to say ok here's $20000.00 to get you on your feet and get your family along with food is to say ok $20000.00 to get you on your feet and get your family along with food and food stamps or whatever there's no actual how it's throw money and once a month or at food stamps or whatever there's no actual how it's throw money and once once they're out of their zip code out of the 212 they can just move on out of their zip code out of the 212 they can just move on because we want to. we don't want to see them moving. because we want to. we don't want to see them moving. if there is one thing as.

if there's one thing as with contemporary us foreign policy it's pax americana it's the use of sanctions ubiquitous with contemporary us foreign policy is pax americana its use of sanctions as a tool of diplomacy from north korea to the sudan to cuba to defend us while over the last 6 decades the united states government has been issuing economic and military as a tool of diplomacy from north korea to the sudan to cuba to defend us while over the last 6 decades the united states government has been issuing economic and military sanctions against a plethora of individuals businesses and governments around the globe in many situations sanctions against a plethora of individuals businesses and governments around the globe in many situations we're told that sanctions are applied in order to punish rival governments or leaders and she was we're told that sanctions are applied in order to punish rival governments or leaders and to inspire their oppressed populations

well you. find this. rational. rational. designer. designer

a lot of need you. need. zoom. zoom. and actually. more than a natural. in

the last 4 decades state prison populations of women in the united states is estimated to have in the last 4 decades state prison populations of women in the united states is estimated to have grown by 834 percent since 1978 a growth grown by 834 percent since 1978 a growth rate twice as fast as the male prison population however went to burn the amount of women in your 8 twice as fast as the male prison population however went to burn the amount of women the us was present instance to those a broad we see as your shopping just disparity outlines if for instance answers are currently 220-231-3100 extension 0 women the men behind bars in the us are as ours . that is 4 times as many many people.

in all of japan. and all courting all of the present you can politic in 2017 according to prison policy initiative women have become the fastest growing segment of the indian ocean but men have become the fastest growing segment of the incarcerated population but despite where does the trick biased in the real are missing the national interest was done in the you know what is happening in iran few people know what's happening in their own state states however people are starting reading minima notice that the problem is even. in mainstream media publications take for instance the washington post's magazine's latest issue which can save you a publications take for instance the washington post's magazine's latest issue which contains essays an. org in america and you seem to read how many we but still in can we build it better women women's prisons and. this character you buy insurance or

a school nurse. who are self served 2 years in county and state correctional facilities on drug charges is one that has raised some eyebrows in that she states the american prison system was built with men in mind the uniforms are made to fit missing county and state correctional facilities on drug charges is one that has raised some eyebrows in that she states the american prison system was built with men in mind the uniforms are made to fit male body is about 70 percent of the guards are men the rules are made to control male social style bodies about 70 percent of the guards are men the rules are made to control male social structures and male violence and well we know that gender divide only becomes more apparent than male violence and while we know that gender divide only becomes more apparent and aggressive as levels of income and freedom of movement reduce is the and aggressive as levels of income and freedom of movement reduce is the answer in building prisons where the razor wires have. but the loss of liberty remains so in

building prisons where the razor wire is hidden but the loss of liberty remains here to help us discuss this and more is attorney and organizer for black youth project 100 here to help us discuss this and more is attorney and organizer for black youth project 101 thank you so much for joining us thank you for having me i want to start by asking you this thank you so much for joining us thank you for having me i want to start by asking you this when you look at the washington post piece it's gotten a lot of criticism and one of the things that when you look at the washington post piece it's gotten a lot of criticism and one of the things that kind of jumps out to me is the writer writes about a visit to one of these prisons that's been designed kind of jumps out to me is the writer writes about a visit to one of these prisons that's been designed for women specifically for women with and for an engine she states that. there you see you know you know women women are landscaping a paltry line walkway under the gaze of

a player had shouted order landscaping a paltry line walkway under the gaze of a player had shouted horticultural teacher to my right to our door it was with a volleyball net and scattered pieces of x. teacher to my right door dorms with a volleyball net and scattered pieces of exercise as equipment for the women who've earned their way to the prime housing assignments and so running it also cited as equipment for the women who've earned their way to the prime housing assignments and surrounding it all a lime green palo verde trees the pink painted utility covers in the 800 women all a lime green palo verde trees the pink painted utility covers in the 800 women who live there. is a brick wall the 5 year old 240000000 women who live there. is a brick wall the 5 year old $240000000.00 facility is still a jail but no razor wires are in sight even theory $1000000.00 facility is still a jail but no razor wires are in sight even theory we can build better prisons but the question after it was should we should we can build better prisons but the

question after it was should we should we be wasting the time in building better prisons when really it's the prison system that's the problem we'd be wasting the time in building better prisons when really it's the prison system that's the problem right and i think that our way to initially approach that and say that we can't right and i think that our way to. initially approached and say that we can't can't improve prisons and if we did then we would continue to expand upon and can't improve prisons and if we did then we would continue to expand upon and apparently unjust system so a better prison is what is ironically it were an inherently unjust system so a better prison and is ironically a worse prison. i think. was obviously a little horse prison. i think. was obviously a little horrified reading the article the headline itself i think that reading the

article the headline itself i think that. we're talking about a suitable prison for people or for women there is none we're talking about a suitable prison for people or for women there is none. i think that when you you listed off a lot of. i think that when you you listed off a lot of. wonderful men it is very volleyball court. with wonderful men it is a very. good. exercise maybe counseling services that my question is why can't those exercises be counseling services that my question is why can't those exist outside of the walls of a person. should exist outside of the walls of a person. there's just no there is that understanding that

we're in this mindset there's just no there is that understanding that we're in this mindset that the only way to deal with anybody is present at the only way to deal with anybody is prison or a fine or. all of this and that's how you end or fine or. all of this and that's where you end up with well if we just make it big a volleyball. which is straight up with well if we just make it big volleyball nets . which is strange to me very very very. i think. i mean to me very very very. i think. i mean i see the logic i don't but i do very in the idea of a modern i see the logic in i don't but i do very in the idea of a modernized state of the art system but we do know when you look at history that

we have state of the art system but we do know when you look at history that we perpetually. sort of opted for a modernization of prisons and they truly. sort of opted for a modernization of prisons and they quickly deteriorate because in essence they are the dehumanization of people so it quickly deteriorate because in essence they are the dehumanization of people so it's hard to create proper. conditions. in a place hard to create proper. conditions. in a place that is supposed to quite literally dehumanize people by taking away that is supposed to quite literally dehumanize people by taking away rights like speech and movement. but i completely rights like freedom speech and movement. but i completely understand why this conversation's bring being brought up now

especially because we also see as you really understand why this conversations bring being brought up now especially because we also see as you mentioned a boom in women in prisons right so within the last inch and a boom in women in prisons. so within the last 30 or something years it went from about 20000 women incarcerated to about 30 or something years it went from about 20000. women incarcerated to about over 200000 or 200000 people which is. over 200000 or 200000 people which is. heinous so then the question becomes how do we commenting at this population versus what happened heinous so then the question becomes how do we commenting at this population versus what happened what's at the root of their incarceration which most women who are in prison or what's at the root of their incarceration which most women who are in prison or jail are in there are survivors 1st and foremost they're survivors of sexual assault in there are

survivors 1st and foremost they're survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence i think many of us have seen that they are often domestic violence i think many of us have seen that they are often criminalized for self-defense purposes or practices. in criminalized for self-defense purposes or practices. there are a host of reasons why most women are in prisons and it doesn't have to do with there there are a host of reasons why most women are in prisons and it doesn't have to do with their rehabilitated needs in the 1st place right or at least in the sense that their character being rehabilitated needs in the 1st place right or at least in the sense that their character needs to be rehabilitated we really are social issues or social structures need to be rehabilitated we really are social issues or social structures need to be completely transformed they do we let me ask you this because i noticed that one of the things that we saw when we had to be completely

transformed we do we let me ask you this because i noticed that one of the things that we saw when we looked at the number from 1978 over the course of my personal like my lifetime watching this number looked at the number from 978 over the course of my personal like my lifetime watching this number go up one of the things i noticed is that the federal prison didn't actually get much 0 up one of the things i noticed is that the federal. didn't actually get much larger many did someone but the largest growth was in state prisons and large urban it did some one but the largest growth was in state prisons and local jails or county jails does that have a lot to do with cash bail and how does that send local jails or county jails does that have a lot to do with cash bail and how does that system i mean is that one of them is that a major issue especially for women i feel like i mean is that one of them is that a major issue especially for women i feel like as often single mothers or being a lot of the major breadwinners shift it often single mothers or being

a lot of the major breadwinners shifted over major like household person is that part of it are things like cash but over major like household person is that part of it are things like cash bail is that this is just more policing for profit or am i being paranoid now i'd like is that this is just more policing for profit or am i being paranoid now i don't think you're being paranoid. i think it's easy to see it that way because it seems like you're being paranoid and i think it's easy to see it that way because it seems. so practice i think i can't speak on it full so it's a horrible practice i think i can't speak on it fully but i would say that it has a lot to do with the kinds of quote unquote crimes that are but i would say that it has a lot to do with the kinds of quote unquote crimes that are being committed which really it is who is being targeted and how is that target being committed which

really it is who is being targeted and how is that target changing. we see that a lot of the women who are incarcerated are actually in jails changing. we see that a lot of the women who are incarcerated are actually in jails and not prisons a lot of them are simply awaiting trial. or dealing with various and not prisons a lot of them are simply awaiting trial. are dealing with very small offenses like best. usually 1st survival purposes so small offenses like best. usually 1st survival purposes so they're really not cases in which they would be sent to federal prisons or they're really not cases in which they would be sent to federal prisons or. really aggressive sentences. and for that reason really aggressive sentences. and for that reason i think you look at the prison policy i think. study and you see i think you look at the prison policy i think.

study and you see that they're disproportionately there are more women in jails so one of the things i wonder that they're disproportionately there are more women in jails so one of the things i wonder i want to ask you to is that you do a lot of work do you see them terms of trying to change your view is that you do a lot of work. in terms of trying to change the incarceration system what are some of the things that are happening here at a local level in the incarceration system 'd like what are some of the things that are happening here at a local level and do you see that you're working on. that because that is my context where i see that you're working with glad you asked that because that is my context. at least in the work that i do i think d.c. is a prime example of. at least in the work that i do i think d.c. is a prime example of. just the terror that is our current incarceration system d.c.

. just the terror that is our current incarceration system dc's incarceration rate surpasses the national average right behind mississippi in terms incarceration rate surpasses the national average right behind mississippi in terms of incarceration rates. and you've seen a lot more of incarceration rates. and you've seen a lot more coverage and conversation about the criminalization of black girls coverage and conversation about the criminalization of black girls for being black girls honestly a lot of black women for being black girls honestly a lot of black women particularly young black girls are arrested and criminalized or particularly young black girls are arrested and criminalized for skipping class. for issues that they might have at home skipping class.

for issues that they might have at home. if they're. in times of sex trafficking oftentimes they are persecuted or persecuted. or prosecuted. as eliciting sort of prostitution so. as eliciting sort of prostitution so you see that we also see that uptick in that happening in d.c. so again mcconnell you see that we also see that uptick in that happening in d.c. so again the conversation can easily turn into how do we accommodate prisons and expand upon jails and prisons for this increased nation can easily turn into how do we accommodate prisons and expand upon jails and prisons for this increasing population where the question should be why are they being incarcerated and you could be seeing population where the question should be why are they being incarcerated and you quickly find out. they're rooted in stomach issues and we find

out. they're rooted in stomach issues you know i think a lot of readers cover this war we talked about even earlier in the show it's this kind of world. i think a lot of readers cover this war we talked about even when the show was this kind of war on the poor that were involved. if you're poor or you're you know 2nd class or that we're involved in if you're poor. sorry you're 2nd class 3rd class 4th in this country and we'd rather throw you in jail should be 2 different cities around with . this country and we'd rather throw you in jail should be to different cities around the country and kind of push the problem away rather than actually trying to help people that's the reason part about it i for you and kind of push the problem away rather than actually trying to help people that's the reason part about it i think that's also why d.c. is a great example. there is a recent move to do criminal think that's also why d.c. is a great example. there is a recent move to decriminalize sex work. right and oftentimes people in sex work

are not only gender my sex work. right and oftentimes people in sex work are not only gender minorities trans women. racial minorities black women already use trans women. racial minorities black women. but again they're for survival purposes more often than not. and they're being but again there for survival purposes more often than not. and they're being criminalized and they're being. assaulted both in jail and criminalized and they're being. assaulted both in jail by police officers and on the streets so yes it is a war i police officers and on the streets so yes it is a war on the poor on racial minorities on vulnerable populations. also on the poor on racial minorities on vulnerable populations. also more than half of people in prisons have mental health conditions so there are more than half of people in

prisons have mental health conditions so there there's a lot of work that we have to sit there and i think that 1st part is understanding where the disparity is there's a lot of work that we have to sit there and i think about that 1st part is understanding where the disparities are when it's you know especially when men women of color and and i think feminism has 0 as i wrote are when it's you know especially when men women of color and. and i think feminism has oh as i wrote here it has to work to make sure it gets to working on this a lot harder thing that you don't hear about has to work to make sure it gets to working on this a lot harder that you know thank you so much for coming on and keep up the great work over there were thank you very much thank you so much for coming on and keep up the great work over the world thank you very much to. it big things have small beginnings than they do. if big things have small beginnings then there's a lot in store for the asteroid high shiah you see high g.i. was passed has passed the there's

a lot in store for the asteroid high shiah you see hygeia was passed has passed the 4 were quire months necessary to be considered a dwarf planet originally the asteroid had met the 4 requirements necessary to be considered a dwarf planet originally the asteroid had met the other requirements needed for a class of occasion a.j. appears to orbit the sun it's not any other requirements needed for classification appears to orbit the sun it's not a moon orbiting another planet and has not cleared other objects out of its own orbit moon orbiting another planet and has not cleared other objects out of its own or but now thanks to the new high resolution imagery you're seeing here it appears that idea is sound thanks to the new high resolution imagery you're seeing here it appears that is spherical in shape which checks off the final box on its way to being classified a dwarf planet spherical in shape which checks off the final box on its way to being classified a dwarf planet this classification once ratified would make the smallest work

planet this classification once ratified would make the smallest work planet in our solar system thing small beginning. and our solar system thing small beginning that is really cool i never knew there was this this neat classification with a void trying to figure out what is really cool i never knew there was this this neat claustrophobic. like trying to figure out what is a dwarf planet once an asteroid. planet once an asteroid. and now i hear the masses trying to change the well they're contemplating the change of light right now i hear the masses trying to change well they're contemplating the change of like. star trek the prime directive when we interact with other planets like star trek the prime directive when we interact with other planets like how do we interact with them and what grabs we take back and what we think back to they're actually kind of like how do

we interact with them and what grabs we take back and went back to they're actually contemplating that now but this is past naming the smallest dwarf planet it's like an upgrade now but this is bast naming the smallest dwarf planet it's like an upgrade. excited excited all the while i'm. excited. we're going to pop over there anytime. probably not. going to be there any time no probably not going to make it there before i. was going to be in the space. we're going to make it there before i. was going to be in space. for the end of it she's going to go make it i'm ok with that. she's going to go make it

i'm ok with that i'm and. i'm a space cadet. so i'm and. i'm a space cadet. so pretty today everyone remember in this world we are definitely not told that we are loved in the period of everyone remember in this world we are . every labor told the real love them up so i tell you all i love you i am tired and. watching all those so i tell you all i love you i am tired and. watching all those hawks out there on the bridge feet in my. books out there on the bridge and.
