Outsourcing jail inmates (March 19, 2024)

Time: 48:22
On Tuesday's show: Harris County is paying millions to outsource many of its inmates, sending hundreds of people to privately owned, out-of-state prisons — one of which is accredited by an organization with an “irreconcilable conflict of interest,” according to a congressional investigation. News 88.7's Lucio Vasquez explains how the county is "surrendering control" of its inmates to private prisons with questionable oversight.
Also this hour: As the annual CERAWeek conference continues this week in Houston, S&P Global’s Daniel Yergin discusses the role mining may need to play in the global energy transition.
Then, we learn how Houston researchers help patients with the rarest diseases find elusive medical answers.
Plus: Some signs suggest our region is more consistently embracing renovation over demolition.
And the latest installment of the Movies Houstonians Love series at the MFAH takes moviegoers back to the 1904 World’s Fair with Meet Me in St. Louis.

Description

Houston Matters is a radio program airing weekdays at 9 am on Houston Public Media News 88.7 FM in Houston. During each hour, we’ll investigate the issues and ideas, people and places that make Houston…well…Houston! We’ll talk about current events, politics, education, health care, the environment, business, transportation, arts and culture, literature, sports and leisure. But we also hope that what we do each day on Houston Matters serves as the beginning of a conversation — one we hope you’ll continue here, at home, at work, with family, with friends and neighbors. We hope to introduce Houstonians to one another, to celebrate our diversity, and to engage one another through stories and conversations that demonstrate depth and context. Just the sort of thing you count on from public media.
