The latest episode of the Know Your Rights Camp podcast features a powerful conversation between host Amir Whitaker and Adam Cain, a formerly incarcerated advocate now working with Initiate Justice. Their discussion dives deep into the exploitation of prison labor, focusing particularly on how incarcerated individuals are used to fight California’s largest wildfires for shockingly low wages. Adam shares his personal journey from incarceration to activism, emphasizing the urgent need for fair pay and real rehabilitation opportunities inside prisons. He explains the impact of Proposition 57, which offers incarcerated people the chance to reduce their sentences through educational and self-improvement programs, and outlines his efforts to push for broader policy changes.
