Daniel Muessig is in a US federal prison where he will spend the next 5 years. In the year 2022, he is being caged because he sold a plant, cannabis, to people who wanted it. In this episode, he tells the story of how his life was stolen from him and explains why the justice system isn't actually broken—it's working exactly as intended.
