Thursday on Lake Effect:
We learn how Wisconsin’s open carry law creates complications for both protesters and law enforcement. Then, we look at the fight for health-based clemency for Wisconsin prisoners, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Plus, we consider the practice of parachute journalism — where out-of-town journalists attempt to tell local stories.
Guests:
- Tony Cotton, attorney and former president of the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers
- Bob Thibault and Ron Schroeder, prison reform activists with the Milwaukee Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee
- Logan Jaffe, engagement reporter for ProPublica Illinois
