- Abstract
- In this episode, Prof Dr Clara Burbano Herrera speaks with Prof Dr Libardo José Ariza, Professor of Law at the University of los Andes (Colombia), about the emergence of supermax prisons in Colombia, their US influences, and their implications for human rights across the Americas. Zooming out, the episode explores how mass incarceration in the US became a political economy driven by private profit and racial inequality, and how this model is now being exported globally. The El Salvador outsourcing deal signals a worrying escalation.
