Rights of Humans, Rights of Nature / Incarceration and Families

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week’s Project Censored Show. Her first guest, Ben Price, speaks about the concept of “rights of nature” and how a legal system based on the control of “property” necessarily subordinates both the rights of humans and the rights of nature. In the second half of the program, Maya Schenwar and Kim Wilson examine the effects of the U.S. prison system on the families of prisoners and explain why “prisons are the canaries in the coal mine.” GUESTS: Ben Price is the education director at the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (www.CELDF.org). Maya Schenwar and Kim Wilson are the coeditors of the 2024 book, “We Grow the World Together,” a collection of essays on the impact of  imprisonment on families — especially the children of prisoners.   The post Rights of Humans, Rights of Nature / Incarceration and Families appeared first on KPFA.
