Today on Lake Effect, we look at spending in Wisconsin prisons and how we compare to neighboring states. Then, we speak with a Marquette professor about his new book that blends conservation with history. Plus, we learn about “Food Journeys,” a research project turned art exhibit that explores how Milwaukeeans relate to the food system.
Guests:
- Jason Stein, research director at the Wisconsin Policy Forum
- Dr. Ben Pladek, associate professor of English at Marquette University
- Judge Pam Pepper, U.S. District Court Judge for the Eastern District of Wisconsin
- Jessica Thompson, story cart fellow for UW-Milwaukee's Story Cart
