For more than two years, activists have sought to persuade city officials to close the city's Medium Security Institution, better known as the Workhouse. They believed they had the votes to strip funding for the jail from the city's Fiscal Year 2021 budget, only to see their dreams dashed. Now they're pinning their hopes on a new board bill introduced by President Lewis Reed. Action St. Louis Executive Director Kayla Reed joined us to discuss the legislation.
