Big Banks Say “No” to Private Prisons

If you made your way up to 1185 Park Ave. on the Upper East Side of New York, you’d find an apartment building that looks like a castle. It’s the apartment of Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase.

Guests: Tracy Jan, reporter at the Washington Post, and emoji activist Jennifer 8. Lee. Tell us what you think by leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or sending an email to whatnext@slate.com.
