The Biggest Book Ban in America with James Tager and Robert Pollock

Voir Dire: Conversations from the Harvard Kennedy School Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management

Prison officials regularly block access to huge amounts of reading material for incarcerated people—and they do it in troublingly arbitrary ways. We discuss the written word’s ability to highlight and amplify the humanity of people in prison and the power of information. James Tager is the Deputy Director of Free Expression Research at PEN America and Robert Pollock is the Prison Writing Program Coordinator at PEN America.
