Inside Look with Claire McLaughlin & Willow Locke
Claire interviews Willow, who wrote a piece on racism and discrimination in the criminal justice system. In it, she talked to Peter, who was incarcerated in New York State from age 20 to 30, and questions whether our prison system is effective.
Process
For her written solo piece, Willow interviewed a formerly incarcerated person and through the information she learned, Claire asked further questions about her interview experience through our podcast “An Inside Look.” It was rewarding to build off the work Willow did in her solo piece for our pair piece, and to explore another medium and way of talking about these topics.
