THE UNITED STATES has the biggest prison population of any country on the planet. The crime rate is down, but the incarceration rate continues to soar.

Host Mehdi Hasan was joined by John Legend, musician, activist, philanthropist, and founder of FREEAMERICA, and Patrisse Cullors, artist, organizer, author, and co-founder of the Black Lives Matter Global Network.
