As a companion to the Mass Incarceration Info-Graphic we have posted a three-hour mix of songs, anchored by tracks from Angela Davis’ spoken word album “The Prison Industrial Complex”. The mix reflects how themes of incarceration, policing and drug sentencing have been represented in popular music across the decades, in specific times and places, and across musical genres. The mix kicks off with Public Enemy and includes, among others, N.W.A, Mos Def, System of a Down, Sam Cook, Johnny Cash, The Rolling Stones, Billie Holiday, Pearl Jam and Kanye West.
