About this listen

 Gerrymandering isn’t just about drawing political maps—it’s also happening in Kentucky’s prisons. When incarcerated people are counted as residents of prisons instead of their hometowns, it can shift political power and representation across the state. On this episode, we talk with Mike Wessler, Communications Director with the Prison Policy Initiative, about why prison-related gerrymandering matters to democracy.
