Bringing access into the prison debate

Courtesy

This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

What should lawmakers and voters know as the state plans to build new prisons? We speak to two people who work with incarcerated South Dakotans.

Jeff Backer is the senior pastor and developer at St. Dysmas of South Dakota. Raleigh Hansman is a criminal defense lawyer with the Meierhenry Sargent law firm in Sioux Falls.

They discuss the people they work with inside the prison walls and the constitutional rights of inmates.
