The Immaculate Re-Conception of Kraig Lewis | ft. Kraig Lewis and Dr. Fareed Nassor Hayat

In this fifth installment of the Gangdatabase Series on the TNB podcast, I follow the life, and rebirth, of activist Kraig Lewis. His courtroom showdown against an overzealous DA Preet Bharara, reveals the hidden truths and failures of NYPD's newest form of over-policing: The Gang Database.

Kraig Lewis was going to law school in the Fall, until he got caught up in one of New York City’s largest mass arrests in history. It was part of the NYPD’s Gang Database program. The problem of course, is that Kraig Lewis was never a part of a gang.
