Madar is the author of The Passion of Bradley Manning: The Story behind the Wikileaks Whistleblower (Verso). He spoke about how why he thinks society uses criminal law, police, and prisons to deal with nearly ALL its problems, and why this is counterproductive.

The lecture was organized by St. Francis College Professors Emily Horowitz and Athena Devlin as part of the Fall 2017 Senior Citizen Lecture Series: Perspectives on American Politics & Policies.
