Sen. Feinstein’s Death & Frontline Documentary On Florida’s “Two-Strike” Law & Pregnant Prisoners — Your Call 10am PT

The United States Capitol. Greg Willis (Creative Commons License)We have a packed show for today’s Your Call Media Roundtable, where I’ll be guest hosting. First, we’ll cover the breaking news of California senator Diane Feinstein’s death last night. We’ll be joined by Arthur Delany, HuffPost reporter who covers politics and the economy on Capitol Hill. Delany will also discuss the real impact of a government shutdown on millions of families.

Then we’ll discuss two documentaries from The Marshall Project and Frontline about the criminal justice system in the US.

Two Strikes examines how a former West Point cadet got life in prison under the little-known two-strikes law, and Tutwiler documents what happens to pregnant women in prison and their newborns.

Joining us will be:

  • Elaine McMillion, documentary filmmaker and the director of Tutwiler
  • Ursula Liang, award-winning director and producer of Two Strikes
