Today, we continued our coverage of Colorado Municiapl Courts. This time, Alison Gordon joined to talk about my hometown municipal court of Westminster, Colorado. This episode is an excellent example of the mundane, cruelty present in your average Colorado municipal court.

Things aren't right in our municipal courts, y'all. Time for change. Hope I'll be seeing you on Bluesky sooon....
Today, I started a two week series on the dreadful state of municipal courts in Colorado. To kick it off, I spoke with Tristan Gorman (Colorado Criminal Def Bar) and @RWallaceEsq of @FreedomFundCO about how people are denied the right to counsel in Grand Junction Muni Court.

📈 The 1980s saw the acceleration of mass incarceration in the U.S., a dark period in our nation's history marked by a staggering increase in the number of people locked behind bars. We're still grappling with how to unwind it, but one thing is sure: we can't go back.
