Living Lab Radio -- August 25 and 26, 2019.

Here are the stories on Living Lab Radio for August 25 and 26, 2019. An American convicted of a federal crime is seven percent more likely to be sentenced to jail time if they are black than if they are white. That jail time is likely to be eight months longer if the person is black. That's a major disparity, but it's a major improvement over where we were twenty years ago. That's the conclusion of a new analysis presented at the American Sociological Association earlier this month.
