Urban planning is designing cities, and both of these go together, because I think that if we design cities or other areas in certain ways we can design out social problems, we can design away crime or we could look at what the root causes of crime are and intentionally make cities target these issues.
What really drives people to commit crimes? In this episode of The Prison Project Podcast, host Alexis Raskin sits down with Tori Campbell, a Lehigh graduate who volunteered as a GED tutor at Northampton County Prison. Campbell dives deep into the root causes of crime, offering a fresh perspective on how urban planning could play a crucial role in reducing social issues and crime rates.
Her experiences as a tutor give her a unique lens through which she views the complexities of the prison system and criminal justice in the United States. Campbell doesn’t shy away from tough topics. She discusses the ethical dilemmas surrounding the legal execution of criminals, questioning whether lethal injection is a humane method of punishment.
She also sheds light on the exploitation of inmates, particularly those who risk their lives fighting wildfires in California for meager pay and limited opportunities upon release. Through her thought-provoking reflections, Campbell emphasizes the need for a societal shift to address mass incarceration and the underlying issues that lead to crime. If you're curious about innovative ways to tackle these challenges and want to hear firsthand accounts from someone who has worked within the system, this episode is a must-listen.
