Episode 6: Clemency, Community & Native Homecoming

Episode 6. Clemency, Community & Native Homecoming

Indigenous people have the highest incarceration rates in Washington state, but they have few support systems for reintegrating back into their communities and recovering from intergenerational trauma. In this episode, we talk with the first known Indigenous person granted clemency by the state of Washington, Benjamin Brockie. We sit with the possibilities and limitations of getting clemency, life on the outside, and visions of improving the re-entry process for Indigenous communities.
