I'm Cole James, and on this special episode of the Feel Free Again podcast, I sit down with Amanda Sherlock and Mona Rahimi—two amazing grief recovery specialists—and Pratik “Teek” Bhargava, who's currently incarcerated at the California Men's Colony. Teek shares how he discovered that grief isn't just about death—it's about the everyday losses that accumulate behind bars: lost freedom, broken routines, fractured families, and fading hope. His journey with Amanda and Mona's work has been nothing short of transformative.   We dive into how Teek and his fellow inmates have embraced the Grief Recovery Method to become “hearts with ears,” learning to listen and hold space for one another in a place that's often emotionally barren. Teek draws a powerful comparison to AA's “singleness of purpose”—in this group, survivors aren't competing or comparing; they're simply sharing and healing together. He even shares how participants have begun mentoring new cohorts and fostering trust across yard lines.   Amanda and Mona explain how they got permission to bring this work into prisons, describe the powerful ripple effect of grief education, and even celebrate the growing interest among incarcerated men who want access to books and follow-up support. They share that every parole, every transfer, even graduation—these are grief events. This conversation is raw, honest, and uplifting, and it turns the spotlight on a transformative, accessible program that's changing lives behind bars—and beyond.

Imagine being just 20 years old when police force you to confess to a double murder you didn't commit. Then imagine spending the next 21 years of your life behind bars, with no hope of release.This isn't fiction; it's the reality Deon Patrick lived before his exoneration in 2014.In this powerful conversation, Deon shares how Chicago police built a false case against him and seven others, including a 15-year-old with borderline intellectual disability. One of the most shocking parts? His co-defendant, Daniel Taylor, was already in police custody at the time of the murders, yet authorities fabricated evidence and hid documentation that could have freed them decades earlier.When Deon was imprisoned, his daughter was just eight months old and his son eleven months old. He watched them grow up through brief visits, powerless to guide them. Even after a $13.4 million civil judgment, Deon says: “I still can't remove some of the barriers I have within myself and in my head that have happened in my life.”The prosecutors and police responsible for this miscarriage of justice faced no consequences. As Deon puts it: “They're still collecting their pension. They just as arrogant as they were back in 1992.”Today, Deon documents his story through advocacy and co-authorship. Alongside three others who were wrongfully convicted in the same case, he wrote "The Hazel Boys: The Trials of Four Innocent Men"—a memoir and a vital teaching tool for law students and the public alike.For anyone still fighting for their freedom, Deon offers simple advice: “Never give up.”Have a comment?

Former Lieutenant John Kennedy was a decorated officer with the Detroit Police Department—a man driven by a deep desire to help others, protect the innocent, and bring criminals to justice. Over the course of his career, he was shot at multiple times, struck by a car, arrested countless suspects, and even served on close protection detail, prepared to take a bullet for someone else.But today, this officer with a spotless record finds himself on the other side of the justice system. Kennedy faced federal charges and ultimately served time in connection with a Detroit towing company corruption scheme—an investigation that saw numerous police officers and city officials charged with bribery.In this episode, I sit down with John, now back home on parole after completing his prison sentence. We talk about his time behind bars, what life is really like for a former law enforcement officer in prison, and whether the experience has changed his perspective on incarceration—and the people who end up there.Join the One Minute Remaining Jury via Appl + HERE and get OMR early and ad free for as little as $1.69 a week!Become a Jury member on Patreon and find us on Facebook here.Tix to True Cime? the LIVE show with me and Comedy's Ed Kavalee here Hosted on Acast.

What if the next revival didn’t start in a church... but in a prison? In this episode of Thinking Christian, I sit down with Romney Ruder, President of Lifeline Global Ministries, to explore how God is transforming lives behind bars. From the darkest corners of Angola State Prison to vibrant spiritual communities formed behind cell walls, this conversation uncovers the raw power of the gospel among incarcerated men and women. We talk about how Lifeline’s programs — Malachi Dads and Hannah’s Gift — are breaking the cycle of generational incarceration, what real discipleship looks like under extreme conditions, and how the local church can move beyond hesitation to become a bridge between prison and family restoration. Romney also shares jaw-dropping stories of courage, healing, and faith — including an impromptu prison choir that might just be the spark of the next spiritual awakening in America.

Bongani Bingwa speaks with Annette, the mother of an 11-year-old girl about the difficult situation facing their family. It was a sudden change in Naledi’s behavior that first raised concern—she became withdrawn, stopped socializing, and spent most of her time in her room. Her mother then noticed physical changes, including a rounder stomach and the development of breasts, which led to the heartbreaking discovery that Naledi was pregnant. Now, as the pregnancy progresses, the family is seeking justice and fighting to ensure that the responsible party is held accountable. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

This is the gripping story of the real Charles Manson as told by his long-time prison administrator, counselor, unofficial "press agent," and confidant, Ed George. “Throughout my life, people have asked me about Manson. . . .‘Does he have hypnotic powers?' ‘Does he have a diabolical charisma?' . . .‘Is he crazy?' My response is that for some people, the answer to all of the above is yes—except for the last question.” —EDWARD GEORGE Charles Manson was perhaps the most infamous criminal of the twentieth century. Convicted for orchestrating the shocking Tate-LaBianca murders in 1969, and for two other killings, there has been much written about him. But not many people knew him as well as Edward George, who over years of conversations with Manson as his prison administrator, counselor, unofficial “press agent,” and confidant, gained deep insight into Manson's mind-set. In this updated edition of George's riveting account, he illuminates the many sides of Manson: charismatic cult leader, master manipulator, calculated “showman,” sly trickster, and more. George and his coauthor, Dary Matera, begin by detailing the troubling events of Manson's youth, the historic 1969 murders, and the subsequent trial that ended an era. They then pull back the curtain on the intense reality of Manson's turbulent life behind bars and the events that have transpired since the initial publication of this book in 1999, including Manson's death in 2017.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

For more than 40 years, Charles Manson languished in prison for his participation in the Manson family murders of 1969. He was America's icon of evil, the one who brought down the curtain on the 1960s. He was never a quiet inmate, either. From his unbridled outbursts of rage to his tender acts of generosity, he made his presence felt to everyone around him. Over time, he parlayed his notoriety, through clever manipulation and shrewd alliances, to great power behind bars. He inspired awe in other inmates, he cozied up to prison guards who were more than eager to do him favors, and he was responsible for countless staff transfers within and outside of the institution.This book details the dramatic journey of Willie Mendez, a troubled inmate, housed next to the serial killer for more than a year. Willie became institutionalized after repeated violations of the law, including attempted murder and armed robbery. He is serving a 68-year prison sentence. Author Mark Hewitt was introduced to Mendez by Charles Manson, who thought the two had similar ideas and a shared optimism about life. From his initial feelings of contempt toward the aging killer, Willie, nicknamed, "Boxcar," by Manson, traveled to a place of openness and acceptance of the old man's ideas. Over time, he began to defer more and more to Manson without reservation. The relationship eventually soured when some of Manson's claims were proven false. Through great internal strength, and the support of others, Willie distanced himself from the cult leader. Finally, he was able to extricate himself completely from Manson's manipulations.This is a tale of growth and maturity that contains intimate details and shocking jailhouse secrets. Willie shares an insider's view of Charles Manson, his crazy behavior, his whispered confessions, and his sometimes profound wisdom."Charlie" speaks openly about his sexuality, shares some vivid details of the Tate and LaBianca murders, and relates his childhood experience of being forced to wear a dress to school. The iconic killer described for him the many people who influenced him, some when he was a child, others, during his adulthood.Willie describes the episode in which Charlie made and wore a Ku Klux Klan outfit to stir up trouble on the tier. He shares his discovery of Manson's intricate artwork, including the creative techniques used to produce masterpieces behind bars. He details Manson's trip to the shower where the aging killer walked into the water fully clothed. Willie gives us profound insight into Manson's personality and character through stories that illustrate the killer's false bravado, his feigned insane behavior, and a few deep-seated insecurities.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

"The story of how I got here is deeply painful. Years ago I was married to a man who was mercilessly verbally and mentally abusive to me and my children. I wanted to press through the anguish to keep our family together, but then his behavior escalated. I had no choice but to leave to protect our child.A year later, I had moved on and was 30 weeks pregnant with another man's child. My estranged husband was enraged and, in a volatile verbal exchange, stabbed me in my stomach. He then raped me. I fought back to defend myself. In a blur, I ended up in the hospital, with my child devastatingly born prematurely.

True Crime Tuesday presents: Chained Birds: Justice, Survival, & The Fight For Redemption Behind Bars w/ Author, Carla Conti! After three years in Europe, former journalist Carla Conti* wanted to settle her family in the suburbs of Philadelphia. But her high school friend Scott Powell, a lawyer handling a brutal prison stabbing case, needed a favor. Before she knew it, Carla became part of the defense team and was mired in the terrifying world of federal prison gangs, penal abuse, and corruption. Then, when she agreed to write a tell-all book on the violent machinations behind the court case — with Scott's client as an inside source — the stakes turned deadly. Two different prison gangs issued “hit orders” against the prisoner she and Scott consider a friend, and the former journalist and defense attorney were imperiled by association. CHAINED BIRDS is a true crime memoir of Carla's 10-year journey to advocate for federal inmate Kevin Sanders and help him re-enter society after prison. But the mission came at a cost as Carla struggled to balance her safety, along with Scott's and Kevin's, while writing the exposé on the horrific conditions that led to the shutdown of an experimental prison program in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. On today's TCT, Carla tells us all about the struggles Kevin went through inside the federal prison system, why he had trouble coping on the outside, The parallels between Kevin's deterioration and the deterioration of her life and the lives of the people around her, and much more!
