Could a Nonprofit Prison Actually Fix Corrections in America? Brian Koehn spent 28 years as a warden in private corrections, running five facilities and overseeing security at 65 more. Now he's building Social Purpose Corrections, a nonprofit prison model that doesn't exist anywhere else in the US, designed to fix the incentives that keep the system broken. Mark Edge talks with Brian about why correctional officer turnover is the root cause behind almost every failure in American prisons, why "hard on crime" wins elections but makes outcomes worse, and why the real recidivism numbers are nowhere close to what most states report. They also get into the case for "smart on crime" over "hard on crime," and why Brian, having actually run the system, sees a distinction that matters more than most politicians want to admit.

Mark Edge reconnects with Carter Feldman, Founder and CEO of Psy Protocol, a new proof-of-work blockchain that promises to solve the impossible triangle of scalability, decentralization, and privacy all at once. Carter breaks down how Psy uses recursive zero-knowledge proofs to process transactions privately at internet scale, hitting 500,000 transactions per second on testnet before even launching publicly. They also explore how Psy allows users to prove compliance without revealing their identity, giving people privacy without compromise. Still in private beta, but a public launch is coming soon.
