Exiled in America
About the Lives of Registered Sex Offenders
Summary
Before Darts and Letters there was a documentary series called Cited. This is one of those documentaries.
This episode is about the lives of sex offenders in the USA. The researcher in this story, Chris Drum actually went and lived with sex offenders, so it’s a fascinating insight into life with some of the most reviled people in the country.
This is the last of our “ideas in strange places” theme, next week our theme is “politics of education”, and we’ll be running episodes from our catalogue with a different theme each week until we launch the new season of Darts and Letters on September 18th.

Your Host
Darts and Letters
This is about ‘arts and letters,’ but for the kind of people who might hack a dart. We cover public intellectualism and the politics of academia from a left perspective. Each week, we interview thinkers about key debates that are relevant to the left. We discuss politics, culture, and intellectual history.
