The Land of the Free punishes or imprisons more of its citizens than any other nation. This collection of testimonials from criminal offenders, family members, and experts on America’s criminal justice system puts a human face on the millions of Americans subjugated by the US Government's 40 year, one trillion dollar social catastrophe: The War on Drugs; a failed policy underscored by fear, politics, racial prejudice and intolerance in a public atmosphere of "out of sight, out of mind."
This complete interview is #14 of 100 in The Exile Nation Project's archive, which can be found on ExileNation.org.
In 2000, Malakkar Vohryzek was arrested as part of a Federal "LSD Conspiracy" and sentenced to 10 years in Federal prison.
Malakkar was implicated in the conspiracy by his best friend, who was forced to inform on Malakkar or receive an unfairly harsh sentence.
In this interview, Malakkar takes us through his arrest, incarceration and parole to "Supervised Release" and how the experience radicalized him, pushing him to get involved in drug policy and attend law school.
