Leslie is joined by Seth Freed Wessler, an independent journalist and Senior Fellow at the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism.
He is the recipient of a 2014–15 Soros Justice Media Fellowship.

The two discuss the decision by the Justice Department to stop using private prisons after a yearlong investigation by Seth and other writers at 'The Nation' uncovered dozens of questionable deaths and years of dire warnings from internal monitors.
