Sean Combs, famously known as Puffy or P Diddy, remains one of the most prominent and controversial figures in music and business, and the past week has been no exception for major headlines. TMZ reports that Diddy's legal saga, which has gripped the public for over a year, is reaching its most dramatic chapter yet. The Bad Boy Records founder is facing a sentencing in October after last month's sensational acquittal on racketeering and sex-trafficking charges. However, listeners, he was found guilty of lesser prostitution-related charges and his lawyers are now mounting a campaign to have him serve any potential sentence in home confinement at his $48.5 million Miami mansion instead of a federal prison. Attorneys for Diddy have argued that he needs intensive therapy for anger and substance abuse issues, care they say is not available in the prison system. They're also pushing to overturn his conviction on the two federal Mann Act counts, claiming voyeurism “doesn't count” as prostitution—a claim they vigorously defended in a New York City courtroom last week according to TMZ.As the October 3rd sentencing hearing approaches, AOL News highlights that Diddy has been on constant suicide watch inside the Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn. This has become a key argument for his legal team, who submitted a sentencing packet urging a lighter, 14-month sentence and repeatedly described the conditions as inhumane. Meanwhile, IMDB and FandomWire have covered Diddy's time behind bars, revealing that he's taken to teaching fellow inmates business skills and motivating them with life lessons drawn from his own successes and failures.The ripple effects of Diddy's ordeal extend to his family too. TMZ reveals his son, King Combs, leaned into music as a coping mechanism, releasing the heartfelt track “Lonely Roads,” produced by Kanye West and Stevie J, with a music video as a tribute to his father. Diddy's twin daughters, Jessie and D'Lila, powered through their first-ever New York Fashion Week as adults, maintaining high spirits and expressing confidence that their dad would be proud, even as his fate remains uncertain.Listeners, the Diddy story is still far from over, with his future and his legacy hanging in the balance as his legal team presses relentlessly for leniency and relief in the coming days.

We continue our view into the unjust and deadly tactics of the California Department of Corrections and rehabilitation with the latest on New Afrikan Political Prisoner, Brotha LP's Racial Justice Act case; and New Afrikan Political Prisoner Brotha Balagoon's liberation campaign. As long as we turn a blind eye, a deaf ear or a silent voice to the crimes against the humanity of the people in prison deemed slaves of the state, we are complicit in these crimes and in our own oppression. Stand up for humanity. Be heard. Be educated. Be inspired to act. Kan't stop, Won't stop All Power to the People Liberate Our Elders Free Africa! Free Palestine!

The concentration of terrorists, political suspects, ethnic minorities, prisoners of war, enemy aliens, and other potentially “dangerous” populations spans the modern era. From Konzentrationslager in colonial Africa to strategic villages in Southeast Asia, from slave plantations in America to Uyghur sweatshops in Xinjiang, and from civilian internment in World War II to extraordinary rendition at Guantanamo Bay, mass detention is as diverse as it is ubiquitous. Camps: A Global History of Mass Confinement (University of Toronto Press, 2024) offers a short but compelling guide to the varied manifestations of concentration camps in the last two centuries, while tracing provocative transnational connections with related institutions such as workhouses, migrant detention centers, and residential schools.

In this live episode of Processa Talks, Kiara Cristina Ventura sits down with artist Emmanuel Massillon for a deep conversation on art, culture, and process. Together, they explore Emmanuel's practice, the stories behind his work, and how his identity and experiences shape his vision as an artist. Later in the episode, they are joined by artist Allen Golder-Carpenter to reflect on the Massillon's performance piece "Cell 72: The Cost of Confinement" at Harlesden High Street Gallery in London, where Allen inhabited the role of an inmate for three days in June 2025.Recorded live at Studio Processa as part of the Processa Social Club series, this conversation unfolds with honesty, laughter, and insight into the realities of navigating the art world as a young Black conceptual artist.About Emmanuel:Emmanuel Massillon (b. 1998, Washington D.C.) is a conceptual artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture, performance, and sound. His work critically examines race, identity, and culture—especially as they relate to people of African descent—drawing from his upbringing in inner-city D.C., his Haitian heritage, and lived experience. Rejecting strictly polished aesthetics, Emmanuel often works with raw, tactile materials — found objects, hand-carved wood, cultural memorabilia, even food products — to evoke history, memory, and material storytelling. His visual language channels influences like Jazz, R&B, Rap, folk art, and street vernacular, creating layered narratives that blur formal boundaries. Emmanuel has exhibited internationally, and his work is held in significant collections including the Baltimore Museum of Art, C21 Museum, The Flint Institute of Arts, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Connect with Emmanuel: https://www.emmanuel-massillon.com | @massi___------This episode is part of PROCESSA TALKS, a podcast and curatorial series by Processa—a roving platform founded by Kiara Ventura that supports experimental exhibitions, conversations, and collaborations with Black and Brown artists.Learn more and check out our programs at: processa.artSupport the podcast and our physical space: processa.art/donateIntro & outro beat credit.

Lee Morris' life story is a raw and powerful journey from bank robbery and brutal prison time to redemption. Growing up in Duchess County, New York, Lee's childhood was shaken by his parents' divorce, leading him down a troubled path. After moving to Florida as a teenager, he fell in with the wrong crowd, began robbing houses, and eventually escalated to robbing a bank — a decision that landed him four years in one of Florida's toughest youthful offender prisons. Even after his release, Lee continued down a destructive road and was sent back to prison 16 years later for drug charges. Today, he's sharing his story of survival, the realities of prison life, and how he finally turned his life around after years of chaos and incarceration. #PrisonStories #TrueCrimePodcast #BankRobbery #PrisonLife #FloridaPrison #RedemptionStory #SecondChances #LockedInWithIanBick Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: The Bank Robbery 00:18 Lee's Troubled Childhood 03:02 Family Background and Early Influences 06:00 Growing Up in Poverty 09:19 Early Delinquency and Moving to Florida 13:14 Getting Involved with Guns and Crime 15:36 From House Robberies to Robbing a Bank 18:16 The Bank Heist Unfolds 20:54 Aftermath: Getting Caught and Facing Court 25:00 Prison: Sentencing and First Days 27:00 Surviving Florida Youthful Offender Prison 33:36 Prison Violence and Racism 40:44 Learning Prison Rules and Inmate Justice 45:12 Family Support During Incarceration 47:51 Smuggling, Confinement, and Prison Life 52:52 Release: Getting Out and Reentering Society 55:40 Back to the Streets: Drugs, Probation, and Temptation 01:01:03 Drifting Back into Crime 01:04:49 Major Drug Case and Second Arrest 01:07:40 Second Prison Term: Adult System 01:13:33 Contrasts Between Youthful Offender and Adult Prison 01:15:54 Lessons Learned From Prison 01:20:27 Work Release and Returning to Society 01:24:12 Making a Fresh Start: Moving North 01:26:00 Finding Support and Unconditional Love 01:28:03 Life Today and Reflections 01:29:00 Advice for Young People & Final Thoughts Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

the cold environment of the porteño winter.Es: El ruido del tráfico de Buenos Aires se perdía entre las paredes del lugar, y solo se escuchaba el eco lejano de pasos sobre el suelo impoluto.En: The

In keeping with the telling of the New Afrikan Ourstory 365, over the next few weeks you will have the privilege of bearing witness to a tribute to our beloved New Afrikan Brotha Yafeu Iyapo, the embodiment of revolutionary love who transitioned to the ancestors June 24, 2025, Rest in Power, Brotha. We will bear witness to the expression of the seven principles of Ma'at: Truth, Justice, Harmony, Balance, Order and propriety and the powerful show of Unity and Love we have for one another, but that is so often vilified, manipulated, criminalized and distorted. This tribute, this spiritual acknowledgment and love up, is manifest through the Ministry of Never Forget, Never Again, Never Alone, created in the loving partnership between Queen Makini Iyapo, surviving on this earthly plane, and her husband, Yafeu Iyapo, and carries forward his legacy. Husband, son, brother, uncle, comrade, friend, mentor, fighter, lover of life and unapologetic New Afrikan Revolutionary Nationalist Yafeu Iyapo lives on in us and with us. Through story and song we maintain our connection with you beloved Ya, One Love. These first tributes come from Brotha Dadisi, Brotha Sangu, Brotha Ifoma, Brotha Kubwa, Brotha Hodari, Brotha Hazim, Sista Nikisha, Brotha Zaharibu, Brotha LP and Brotha Fati.

We will be discussing medical abuse, medical apartheid and how the prison industrial slave complex is designed to keep Us unfree for exploitation and our ultimate demise. The telling of Ourstory through a New Afrikan lens speaks truth to the crimes against our humanity. We will tell it loud, proud and unbowed. Kan't stop, Won't stop All Power to the People Liberate Our Elders Free Africa! Free Palestine!

Please join us as We revisit the discussion on parole and why We need a Community Release Board! This genocidal kangaroo kourt called the Board of Parole Hearings perpetuates ongoing slavery in our prison, and thus it is a crime against humanity, a tool of whyte false supremacy that keeps our People unfree! REBL… Resist! Educate! Build! Love! Kan't stop, Won't stop All Power to the People Liberate Our Elders Free Africa! Free Palestine!

In this episode, we perceive a subtle plea for a change in action, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 20, penned by Ulochchanaar. Set amidst the sands and groves of the 'Neythal' or 'Coastal Landscape', the verse vividly sketches a day in the life of Sangam maiden.

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Juan Martinez to the Restorative Works! Podcast. Juan joins us and shares his experience as a dedicated yoga instructor innovating with inclusive yoga practices in unconventional spaces. We explore how yoga and meditation foster compassion and wellbeing within challenging environments, including prisons and centers for vulnerable populations. Juan shares his journey from the corporate world to becoming an accredited teacher, spreading the healing benefits of yoga through programs like Yoga Inclusivo Costa Rica and collaborations across Central America. Through poignant anecdotes and reflections, Juan illustrates how yoga is more than physical exercise—it's a tool for empowerment, agency, and self-discovery. Learn how Juan navigates logistical challenges to bring yoga to prisons, creating safe spaces for inmates to find peace and inner strength.  Juan is a seasoned advertising and design professional, with over a decade of experience in advertising agencies across Costa Rica. In 2001, he was introduced to the practice of yoga. Today, Juan is an accredited Yoga teacher with the Costa Rica Ashtanga Association, the European Yoga Institute, Yoga 10, AccessibleYoga.org, the Prison Yoga Project, and the Trauma Center.  Juan has extensive experience as an instructor with a specialization in working with disabled and prison populations. His approach goes beyond postural practice and seeks to show a sanctuary, a laboratory, an opportunity, a place for contemplation and expression of compassion, and respect for ourselves as well as for life itself through yoga.  Tune in to hear firsthand accounts of transformation and resilience as individuals find solace and hope through yoga, reshaping their lives amidst adversity.

The push to tell the New Afrikan Ourstory 365 continues as we reinvigorate the discussion on the legislative move to abolish slavery. Brotha Carl Marion, currently held captive at Corcoran SATF, will join us once again to discuss this year's attempt to submit the ACA 6 End Slavery in California bill to the voters for the 2026 legislative cycle, and its challenges and aspirations. There is much work to do as you will hear in this episode, but we hope it will inspire you to get on board with us to build awareness about the affects of slavery on all our lives and the more than urgent need to abolish it. Kan't stop, Won't stop Liberate Our Elders All Power to the People Free Africa! Free Palestine!

Listen up, Listen in! We continue telling our New Afrikan Ourstory 365 as we make a pivot from our conversation about some of the negative and dehumanizing music/lyrics and images targeting our young Afrikans – due to some of the original participants of that conversation unable to join us – to an organic unfolding conversation about some of the current events of interest. The privilege of being in conversation with and hearing from the New Afrikan Elder Political Prisoners who survived one of most horrific forms of domestic torture – decades of solitary confinement (extreme sensory deprivation) meant to break them – cannot be overstated. They bring to us a body of knowledge, political analysis, social commentary and perspective, unique and unmatched in its scope, its depth and its simple humanness. Kan't stop, Won't stop Liberate Our Elders All Power to the People Free Africa! Free Palestine!

May is Cemetery Appreciation Month, and Jennie and Dianne are celebrating by sharing three Ordinary Extraordinary stories buried beneath the soil of three Colorado cemeteries. Hear the tragic tale of a young woman who lost her life to 'consumption' in a rural community, the complex and incomplete story of a woman institutionalized at the Colorado State Hospital for the Insane, and the gold prospector who left his family behind forcing his widow to seek justice on his behalf several years after his passing. Sometimes the most compelling stories are the ones buried in plain sight. As you walk through your own local cemeteries this month, look beyond the headstones and imagine the lives that once were. You might just uncover an Ordinary Extraordinary story waiting to be told.View this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Ox2JHkyC-L0Need an Ordinary Extraordinary Cemetery Podcast tee, hoodie or mug?
