Why We Should Close All Prisons & Legalise Drugs | Chris Daw QC | Modern Wisdom Podcast 211

Chris Daw is a Queens Council Barrister and an author. Does the current UK justice system work? Is it rehabilitating offenders? Does it even deter them? Why are drug laws not working and why is the recidivism rate so high? Chris has some radical propositions for a system he says is totally broken.
