In episode 4, we examine two competing narratives in the war on crime and drugs during the 1950s. As suburbia sees an alleged increase in drug use and rebellion, the administration calls for rehabilitative programs. As the same time, we see punitive efforts put in place to target drug sellers. This episode attempts to analyze the racially coded discrepancies between these different punitive models.
