A New Man: Toxic Masculinity In American Prisons And Policing - Part 3
Anuar Velasquez, Devon Adams, and Martin Friedman return this week to wrap up their discussion on toxic masculinity in American prisons and policing. They begin this podcast with introducing the socialization Devon and Anuar experienced as a prisoner and police officer. Both men found that the messages they received from their peers before entering the justice system were toxic. They were taught to resolve issues with violence, and to not show signs of weakness. These messages caused them to believe that to be accepted as a man you had to show your power by acting a certain way. For Devon it was learning he couldn’t show vulnerability because he would have been labeled as a punk while in prison. For Anuar it was being taught to show power through violence as a police officer, and learning to listen to orders from older policemen.
This podcast is closed out beautifully with Anuar and Devon sharing their current strategies for dealing with their trauma. We are so happy to be able to share this amazing podcast with you. These three men are a great example for how to share healthy and vulnerable conversations with peers. More men deserve to have other men to talk to about their traumas, stress, and feelings. We hope that more men can listen to this podcast and learn strategies on becoming a new man!
