Should America have houses of slaves? Neuroplasticity, cocaine & 20 years in jail | Meet Lyle Wildes, the real life Walter White

Meet Lyle Wildes, the real life Breaking Bad / Walter White, a philosophy professor that acquired a brain injury crashing his truck into a bridge, losing all empathy, becoming a drug dealer making synthetic cocaine, being arrested and spending twenty years in jail, enabling him to discover the key to reducing recidivism;

85% of inmates have 3 or more ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) factors, compared with 7% of the general population that have 3 or less.  And we can fix it before kids get to jail.

Join us in this deep-dive into humanity, the brain and the link between Adverse Childhood Experience (ACEs), as well as:

- changing the culture of prisons
- the 500 year old, failed model of incarceration
- why it's an antiquated way of treating people who attack the power structure
- domestic violence, neuroplasticity, Positive Attitude classes and ending cycles of trauma
- the rolling door of the US prison population, with 25% being released each year and 25% being arrested (700,000 people)
 - how this creates the legal vehicle for slavery

I greatly appreciate those in our criminal justice systems who give so much to the safety and cohesion of our society, this conversation asks 'could we do it better?'
