Do prisoners really prefer Trump? w/Nicole Lewis | Rattling the Bars

Since the 1990s, 2 million people with felony convictions have regained the right to vote, thanks to crucial reforms abolishing felony disenfranchisement in 26 states. This election, these voters could play a crucial role—and based on data from 2020, many of them prefer Trump. There's more to this story however, from incarcerated people's limited access to information, to the role of prisoners' race and even positive perceptions of Harris' gender in shaping incarcerated voters' preferences. Nicole Lewis, engagement editor for The Marshall Project joins Rattling the Bars to discuss her organization's findings and insights into the politics of prisoners.
