70 million Americans 18+ have a criminal record.
Our Peabody-nominated 70 Million documentary podcast investigates how locals are addressing the role of jails in their backyards. Our reporters travel around the country and hear from people directly impacted by encounters with jails and adjacent policies, and from those committed to reversing the negative effects on people and communities. 70 Million was recognized as the bronze winner in the Narrative/Documentary Podcast category of the 2019 New York Festivals and Silver winner in the 2020 competition. Now in its third season, it is made possible by a grant from the Safety and Justice Challenge at the MacArthur Foundation. 70 Million is a member of The Democracy Group, a collective of podcasts exploring the meaning of democracy today.
