episode 12: Allison McKim, Author of "Addicted to Rehab: Gender, Race and Rehabilitation"
In my conversation with Professor Allison McKim, we discuss her book "Addicted to Rehab: Race, Gender, and Drugs in the Era of Mass Incarceration (Critical Issues in Crime and Society)" in which she compares two addiction rehabilitation programs: one is linked to the criminal justice system and the second, is private and is covered by private insurance.

We also discuss how racial stereotypes influence treatment.
