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.
