Baltimore is planning a $1bn jail construction project, the most expensive state-funded project in Maryland ever. They’re using a consent decree for terrible jail conditions as justification for building a “better” jail. We’re joined by David Fathi, the Director of the American Civil Liberties Union National Prison Project, which brings challenges to conditions of confinement in prisons, jails, and other detention facilities, and works to end the policies that have given the United States the highest incarceration rate in the world. David is also involved in a more-than 30-year old lawsuit about conditions in Baltimore jails called Duvall v Hogan which is being problematically used to justify the new $1 billion jail construction plan.

California’s wildfire suppression planning leaves a lot to be desired. On today’s show, we’ll learn how our neighboring native communities are rejecting the state’s militaristic approaches of fighting fire, by stewarding a relationship with it. Our guests today – Deniss J Martinez and Tony Marks-Block – are researchers and two of the co-authors of a new article called “Indigenous Fire Futures – Anticolonial Approaches to Shifting Fire Relations in California”.

Deniss J Martinez is a research administrator in the Native American Studies Department at UC Davis where she researches collaborative governance, Indigenous environmental justice, and fire management. She is a descendant of Tutunaku people, and grew up in Shasta and Karuk homelands in colonized Northern California.

Tony Marks-Block is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology, Geography and Environmental Studies at Cal State East Bay in Hayward, on unceded Chochenyo Ohlone territory. Tony’s research is focused on the socio-ecology of small-scale subsistence practices, including prescribed and cultural fire.

A Washington Post investigation shows that law enforcement agencies have been accessing patient prescription records from pharmacies without warrants, a congressional investigation has found. Consumers are often unaware their private information is being handed over to authorities. Lawmakers surveyed eight major pharmacy chains — CVS Health, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Cigna, Optum Rx, Walmart Stores Inc., The Kroger Co. and Rite Aid Corp. along with Amazon Pharmacy. Only Amazon Pharmacy said it had a policy of informing customers when law enforcement requested their records. None of the companies said it requires a warrant before providing pharmacy records to law enforcement agencies. To discuss what this could mean specifically for women and girls post the Dobbs decision, we’re joined by Imani Gandi, Editor-at-Large for Rewire News Group. She also co-hosts the podcast Boom! Lawyered.

The mission of law & disorder is to expose, agitate and build a new world where all of us can thrive. But how do we get there? How do we build a world many of us have only seen in our dreams? That’s where we believe the artists come in. So, each week we feature an artist, holding down a weekly residency with us, helping us to imagine a different, more liberated world.

This week’s Resistance in Residence artist is L. Peter Callender, actor, writer, director, who for fifteen years was also the artistic director of the African American Shakespeare Company.
