In this episode, Charlez and Duke explore factors that may lead to incarceration of youth, reasons it can be hard to break the cycle of incarceration, and some possible solutions. "The Goldfish Syndrome" is a term they coined to refer to the geographical confinement of young people living in poverty, the limiting factors associated with life inside the "fish bowl," and the cyclic nature of recidivism.  Charlez and Duke talk to IMAN's outreach director Billy Moore, Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart, Amplify Investments founder Douglas Hood, and Co-Director of Programs and Partnerships at Contextos  Lisa Kenner. They spoke with their guests about identifying the root of the problem and solutions to breaking the cycle.
